Abstract
A novel procedure is described which provides a method for initialization of a group of CPE devices (short: CPEs) during a training that in part registers capabilities of the CPEs, wherein at least one CPE registers late to the training and thus cannot be registered. In accordance with the example described herein, the method comprises: determining capabilities of the CPEs during a Joining Phase of the training, wherein it is determined whether a CPE device is capable of employing vectoring. The method further comprises placing in a hold status the at least one CPE that registers late by keeping a line active that is coupled to the at least one CPE. Another Joining Phase is provided after the Joining Phase in order to register the at least one CPE which has registered late.
