Abstract
Abstract A communication system and method of connecting a mobile unit to a base station are disclosed where a connection code is stored in the base unit which is the serial number thereof. The connection code is either entered by the user of the mobile unit or is stored therein. This connection code is transmitted from the mobile unit to the base station before a communication between them is established. Such a communication is established if the connection code transmitted from the mobile unit equals to the connection code stored in the base unit.
