A method, assigning a medical device from a data network to a location, includes: receiving a group message, having a medical device data network address; providing a first data set, indicating network addresses of active network components; and sending request messages to active network components, indicating a data network address thereof and data network address of the medical device. An acknowledgment message from a defined active network component indicates the data network address and a port identity thereof and data network address of the medical device. A second data set is provided indicating an assignment of tuples of active component data network addresses and port identities to locations. The medical device is assigned a location based on the second data set, the data network address of the defined active component and the indicated port identity. An assignment data set is provided indicating an assignment of medical device to assigned location.
