A method of establishing a data link between a first terminal, which is capable of communicating in accordance with a number of different data communication standards, and a plurality of further terminals which are each capable of communicating in accordance with a single data communication standard, whilst indicators (profile indicators) are extended to the dial numbers of the further terminals in the first terminal these indicators showing according to which data communication standard a specific further terminal is operating. If such an indicator is found with the telephone number when a link to a further terminal is established, the first terminal is automatically reprogrammed for subsequent operation in accordance with the data communication standard of the further terminal. The method can also be implemented when a terminal which is capable of communicating in accordance with a single data communication standard calls the first terminal, provided that the calling terminal transmits its call accompanied by its telephone number.
