TLK2541 sync once

Hello,

I'm using the TLK2541, but can't get it to sync.
The datasheet is not clear to me on how the sync process should be done.
The serdes is used in 8 bit mode with the 8b/10b encoding enabled.
Only during start-up of my system I have the possibility to apply a code on the Td0-Td7 input.

What will be the right sequence to make the sync happen?
I assume it will be like:
- have all control and data lines low.
- apply sync comma on Td0-Td7, like the diagram shows. That is: Td0=Low, Td1=Low, Td2=High, Td3=High, Td4=High, Td5=High, Td6=High, Td7=Low.
- make CodeTypeIn (Td16) =High.
- make SyncEn=High
Expected behaviour: (which is not seen)
- CodeTypeOut will go High
- Applied comma shows up on Rd0-Rd7.
But non of this happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Alex.
