The present invention discloses a network connection establishing method capable of preventing a link procedure from being strangled in a training state. An embodiment of the method comprises: a preceding step; a training step; and a following step. Said training step includes at least one of the following: counting a number, and returning to the preceding step if a local receiver is not yet ready after finishing counting the number; detecting a reception signal according to a signal detection level, and returning to the preceding step when none of the reception signal is detected; determining a number of level(s) of the reception signal, and returning to the preceding step if the number of level(s) is less than an expected level number; and comparing a signal-to-noise ratio of the reception signal with a signal-to-noise threshold, and returning to the preceding step when the signal-to-noise ratio fails to satisfy the signal-to-noise threshold.

Embodiments of a circuit are described. In this circuit, a receive circuit includes M input nodes that receive a set of M symbols on M links during a time interval, where the set of M symbols are associated with a codeword. Moreover, the receive circuit includes a decoder, coupled to the M input nodes, that determines the codeword in a code space based on the set of M symbols and that decodes the codeword to a corresponding set of N decoded symbols. Additionally, the receive circuit may include a detector that detects an imbalance in a number of instances of a first value in the set of M symbols and a number of instances of a second value in the set of M symbols, and, if an imbalance is detected, that asserts an error condition.

A line driver including a first driver circuit, a second driver circuit, and a first summing circuit. The first driver circuit generates a first component signal having a first polarity based on a first transmit signal, the bias signal, and the offset signal. The second driver circuit generates a second component signal having a second polarity based on a second transmit signal, the bias signal, and the offset signal. The first summing circuit sums the first and second component signals to generate a first differential signal. A first average current of the first differential signal for multiple symbols is greater than a second average current of a second differential signal for the symbols. The second differential signal is generated by summing a first biased signal and a second biased signal.
