1. A method for the management of a plurality of decentralized customer terminals (11) by means of a bidirectional communications connection between a central unit (13) and customer connection units (15) associated with the customer terminals (11),wherein the central unit (13) transmits at least one synchronous radio control telegram (18) to a plurality of customer connection units (15) by means of at least one longwave transmitter (17) via a central radio ripple control channel;

  • wherein each customer connection unit (15) triggers a predefined process at at least one associated customer terminal (11) in dependence on the received radio control telegram (18);

    wherein each customer connection unit (15) transmits at least one data telegram (20) which includes information related to the associated customer terminal (11) to the central unit (13) via a decentralized return channel which is separate from the radio ripple control channel; and

    wherein the transmission of the data telegram (20) to the control unit (13) takes place based on time, based on an event and/or in dependence on a previously received radio control telegram (18).
