Method for a telecommunication's network, central office, and network terminating unit
First Claim
1. Method for a telecommunication'"'"'s network with a central office, an access network, a multiple of network terminating units and customer premises equipment connected thereto, to assign the customer premises equipment to a service contract registered in the central office, wherein when the network terminating units are identifiable unambiguously and individually and when the customer premises equipment is identifiable unambiguously, the service contract is assigned to a particular customer premises equipment as a result of an action of a network terminating unit being recognizable by the central office and being coordinated with signals sent from the customer premises equipment connected to said network terminating unit, and that such coordination is detected in the central office for assignment,wherein the network terminating unit detects at least a first-time start of information transfer between the customer premises equipment connected to the network terminating unit and the central office and reports this to the central office and that the central office performs the assignment based on a chronology of the start of an information transfer from the customer premises equipment and the reporting by the network terminating unit.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for a telecommunication'"'"'s network with a central office (CO), an access network (AN), a multiple of network terminating units (DPD) and customer premises equipment (CPE) connected thereto, to assign a customer premises equipment (CPE) to a service contract (SI) registered in the central office (CO), in which, when the network terminating units (DPD) are identifiable unambiguously and individually and when the customer premises equipment (CPE) is identifiable unambiguously, the service contract (SI) is assigned to a particular customer premises equipment (CPE) as a result of an action (OS) of a network terminating unit (DPD) being recognizable by the central office (CO) and being coordinated with signals sent from a customer premises equipment (CPE) connected to said network terminating unit (DPD), and in which such coordination is detected in the central office (CO) for assignment, to a central office, and to a network terminating unit.

5. A system for a telecommunication'"'"'s network with a central office, an access network, a multiple of network terminating units and customer premises equipment connected thereto, characterised in, comprising:
-
recognition means for recognizing an action of a network terminating unit with signals sent to the central office from the customer premises equipment connected to the network terminating unit, and that the central office includes assignment means for assigning a particular customer premises equipment to a service contract registered in the central office; wherein the assignment means detects at least a first-time start of information transfer between the customer premises equipment and the central office and performs the assignment based on a chronology of the start of an information transfer from the customer premises equipment and the reporting by the network terminating unit.

6. Network terminating unit for a telecommunication'"'"'s network with a central office, an access network, a multiple of network terminating units and customer premises equipment connected thereto, wherein each network terminating unit includes control means for recognizing signals sent from the customer premises equipment connected to the control means to the central office signals sent from the central office to a customer premises equipment, and for coordinating in time with the central office such recognizing,
wherein each of the network terminating units is configured to detect at least a first-time start of information transfer between the customer premises equipment connected to the network terminating unit and the central office and report this to the central office to initiate assignment of the customer premises equipment to the network terminating unit based on a chronology of the start of an information transfer from the customer premises equipment and the reporting by the network terminating unit.
