ABSTRACT:
Upstream transmissions in a two-way communications network are effected from subscriber terminals in upstream packets having one of a plurality of different separately acknowledgeable acknowledgment tags. Downstream acknowledgments of upstream messages are contained in CA packets multiplexed with product packets to form a transport bitstream. The transport bitstream is applied to a digital conditional access module (DCAM) in the terminal which is controlled by the conditional access data bits of the CA packets. The DCAM includes a status register for storing the acknowledgment bits of the CA packets, which bits are coupled by a microprocessor for controlling the upstream transmitter.
