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.
