Examples described herein relate to determining whether a device can re-train settings of one or more components of another device. Some examples include conducting link re-training by: receiving, by a receiver in a first device, signals over a lane from a transmitter in a second device, the signals comprising a first communication identifying capability to re-train a link; transmitting, from the first device, a second communication including one or more components of a second device with capability to be adjusted and a request to modify one or more parameters of the one or more components; and receiving, at the first device, a third communication identifying a status of re-training. In some examples, the one or more components comprise an equalizer and the one or more parameters comprises at least one tap setting. In some examples, the one or more parameters comprise a precursor, main cursor or post-cursor equalization setting.
