Patent ID: 8233612

Claim:
A network apparatus comprising: a first equalization module operated in a first channel for equalizing a first network signal to output a first output equalization signal and both a first calculated value and a second calculated value in equalization, wherein the first calculated value is a soft data value, and the second calculated value is a hard data value; a multiplexer coupled to the first equalization module, for selectively outputting the first calculated value or the second calculated value according to a selection control signal; a far-end-crosstalk (FEXT) canceller coupled to the multiplexer, for outputting a FEXT canceling signal according to the first calculated value or the second calculated value outputted from the multiplexer; and a second equalization module coupled to the FEXT canceller and operated in a second channel other than the first channel, for equalizing a second network signal according to the FEXT canceling signal, and for outputting a second output equalization signal; wherein when the network apparatus is operated under a data mode, the multiplexer is controlled according to the selection control signal to output the first calculated value to the FEXT canceller; and when the network apparatus is operated under a training mode, the multiplexer is controlled according to the selection control signal to output the second calculated value to the FEXT canceller.
