I thought I read that after reset the Transmitter sends 3 K28.5 code words automatically.

That is quite possible, as I said, it depends on the protocol you are using. I use the ALTGX components in Basic mode and in PCIe mode, so I've never sent a K28.5 code word, which sounds like a 10GbE protocol. The transceivers have a lot of features ...

"Yep. Depending on the ALTGX setup, you can access this signal manually"
What signal are you referring?

The byte alignment signal. In basic mode, some of these signals are available for you to toggle.

Is there a sample simulation available somewhere?

You'll have to check for whatever protocol you are using. I've simulated the ALTGX in basic mode, and PCIe mode, and the simulations are completely different.
