Method and arrangement for automatically configuring subscriber equipment (En) with a network interface unit (NIU) for adapting to a terminal unit (AFRA-NT) of a digital network (AN), whereby the data rate of this network interface unit (NIU) can be adaptively adjusted. Such method has the steps:determining the maximum data rate between network interface unit, or terminal unit, respectively, and another unit of the digital network (AN);comparing the determined data rate to a value, which is stored in the subscriber equipment (En), of a previous maximum data rate;storing the determined data rate in the subscriber equipment (En);comparing the determined data rate to the data rate demand of currently existing connections of terminal device applications of the subscriber equipment (En); andconfiguring the determined maximum data rate as the maximum allowable data rate of the network interface unit (NIU) if the data rate demand of currently existing connections does not exceed the determined maximum data rate.
