A method performed by a retimer adapter, comprising:
- obtaining at least one configuration scheme of the retimer adapter;
- and
- configuring the retimer adapter to operate at one of the at least one configuration scheme of the retimer adapter,
- wherein the retimer adapter is able to be connected between a first communication device and a second communication device.
A method performed by a communication device, comprising:
- receiving, from a retimer adapter that is connectable between a first communication device and a second communication device, information about the retimer adapter;
- determining a configuration scheme of the retimer adapter based on the information about the retimer adapter;
- and
- sending the configuration scheme of the retimer adapter to the retimer adapter.
A retimer adapter, comprising:
- a retimer circuit configured to receive a signal from a communication device, regenerate the signal, and send the signal to another communication device;
- an obtaining circuit configured to obtain at least one configuration scheme of the retimer adapter;
- and
- a configuration circuit configured to configure the retimer adapter to operate at one of the at least one configuration scheme of the retimer adapter,
- wherein the retimer adapter is able to be connected between a first communication device and a second communication device.
