Abstract

A method for communication in a network, in particular for communication in an electrical low voltage network, transmits a status check from a master to a plurality of slaves in several network paths. A slave that cannot be directly accessed by the master, such as an additionally installed salve, is included in the network with the help of a neighboring slave. The neighboring slave is used as a router slave for the slave that cannot be directly accessed. For this purpose, a network management software for the master is provided with a software module for assigning at least one router slave to each slave. Each slave is assigned a corresponding software module to identify a neighboring slave as a potential router slave. A network for communication is also provided.
