摘要：
A communications port is implemented for configuration in direction and arrangement. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a communications link, such as a PCI Express type link, is configurable for communicating with devices having different directional and/or polarity configurations. The communications link is configured to match a communications port condition (e.g., a directional and/or polarity condition) of a device coupled to the communications link. In one instance, the communications link is directionally configurable for reassigning input lanes to output lanes and output lanes to input lanes. With this approach, the communications link can be used to communicate with a variety of devices having varied communication characteristics.
