ABSTRACT:
A method for automated channel installation comprises the following steps. In step (A), a frequency scanning operation is executed to lock on to a frequency. In step (B), it is determined whether the frequency scanning operation is complete, if so, the process proceeds to step (F), otherwise, to step (C). In step (C), it is determined whether the locked frequency corresponds to a reserved channel number, if so, the process proceeds to step (D), otherwise, to step (E). In step (D) the corresponding reserved channel number is assigned to the locked frequency, and then proceeds to step (A). In step (E), the locked frequency not corresponding to the reserved channel number is stored in a caching table, and then proceeds to step (A). In step (F), an unused channel number is assigned to the frequency stored, if any, in the caching table.
