Abstract
A cable communication system (,) where a control unit (,) sends operation parameters to subscriber units (,) and the subscriber units (,) respond by modifying the method of communication. Also, the subscriber units (,) send messages which include information on the subscriber unit (,) and the capabilities of the subscriber unit (,). Furthermore, the control unit (,) efficiently manages the system,by monitoring the capabilities and instructing the subscriber units (,) on-how to communicate on the system (,). Such management allows for the migration of subscriber units (,) from one service area (,) to another (,) without the disruption of service. In addition, initialization of subscriber units (,) may be accomplished over the cable and does not require an operator at the subscriber location.
