Abstract
A message sender (120, 700) and an output controller (110, 600) having an output configuration recover from a configuration error in a communication system. The output controller defines (404) a current output configuration tag (220) for identifying a current output configuration (212) in response to the output configuration being changed to the current output configuration. The message sender sends (506) to the output controller a recorded configuration tag corresponding to the output controller, in response to having a message to send to the output controller. The output controller and the message sender cooperate (512) to recover from the configuration error produced when the recorded configuration tag is different from the current configuration tag.
