A multidrop network system includes N network devices including a master device and a plurality of slave devices. The N network devices synchronize their respective time zones in a synchronization phase, then jointly perform equalizer coefficient training in a training phase, and then obtain their respective transmission opportunities in turn in a data transmission phase. Each network device includes a channel equalizer trained in the training phase and used for processing data in the data transmission phase. In the training phase, the master device sends out a training notification to request the slave devices to enter the training phase; the master device performs the equalizer coefficient training after it transmits the training notification, and the slave devices perform the equalizer coefficient training after they receive the training notification. After the completion of the equalizer coefficient training, the master device sends out a beacon to start the data transmission phase.
