1. A host configured to electrically connect to a linear module, the host comprising:
a host input configured to connect to a low-speed communication channel;
a low-speed host-to-linear module interface configured to communicate with the linear module, and receive and process equalizer settings received over the low-speed communication channel from the linear module;
an equalizer configured to perform equalization on an outgoing signal to create an equalized outgoing signal, using the equalizer settings provided from the linear module, prior to the outgoing signal being transmitted from the host to the linear module;
a driver configured to transmit the equalized outgoing signal from the host to the linear module; and
an output connected to the driver configured to transmit the equalized outgoing signal, as an electrical signal, from the host to the linear module over a data channel.
