Abstract

See full text

A technician set-up unit is described for cable television converter installation and address assignment, and a method for using the unit with an addressable television converter. The set-up unit and method permits address assignments to be made in a convenient and easy manner by the CATV operator, thus avoiding address assignment during manufacture. The technician set-up unit, which is portable, forms a hardware link between the converter and addressing computer. Using the technician set-up unit as an intermediary device, data can be downloaded to the converter by the addressing computer to define the converter address and to establish the appropriate level of service. The benefit of the invention also permits the technician set-up unit to verify proper converter installation.
