US Patent 7346764 Optical transceiver module initialization

A physical-layer unit carries out startup processing in response to a first reset signal delivered from a host, generates and outputs a second reset signal to a data control unit in consideration of time required for the startup processing, reads data for initial setting stored in a storage unit of the data control unit via a serial bus after a waiting time elapses, the waiting time being preset in consideration of the time required for the data control unit to start up in response to the second reset signal, and writes the read data for initial setting into a data register included in the physical layer unit.
