Abstract
A method for operating a terminal with high availability in a network, where a memory stores an identifier, for a backup device of a first edge device, which relates to a second edge device, stores a model for operating the terminal and stores information about the connection configuration between the first and second edge devices, the monitoring device and the terminal, where the first edge device periodically sends a signal about its correct operation, the signal is received by the monitoring device, and detection of an absent or erroneous signal results in an associated error device being detected, and the model and the connection configuration of the error device being transferred from the memory to a substitute device, the substitute device being determined via the identifier associated with the absent or erroneous signal, and the substitute device operating the terminal using the received model and the connection configuration.
