Abstract: A pluggable module includes a media interface including a receiver and a transmitter, wherein the media interface is configured to operate a media interface mode defined by a code; circuitry communicatively coupled to the media interface; and an electrical interface communicatively coupled to the circuitry and to a host device housing the pluggable module; wherein the circuitry stores a remapping table used to convert the code exchanged between the host device and the pluggable module. This enables a host device to operate the pluggable module in media interface modes that are unsupported by the host device, e.g., vendor-specific codes for custom applications.
