• the peripheral elements repeatedly transmitting a search telegram at predefined time intervals,
• the peripheral elements switching to receive mode after transmitting the search telegram,
• the peripheral elements or the master station, which receive a search telegram from a searching peripheral element in receive mode, transmitting a response telegram to the searching peripheral element,
• the searching and responding peripheral elements or the master station inputting the respective other peripheral element or the master station as available in their own availability tables,
• the peripheral elements transmitting search telegrams until the master station can be accessed directly or via other peripheral elements as intermediate stations.
