Method for operating a network or allowing a simplified use of an M2M (Machine to Machine) node or M2M nodes for providing Machine-Type Communication (MTC), wherein at least one M2M node providing and/or using an M2M service is assigned to a cellular network and will be authorized for communication therewith for providing MTC. At least one M2M node will be associated with at least one master terminal that owns a unique master terminal ID (Identifier), which uniquely identifies the master terminal within the cellular network, and a state of authentication of the M2M node or M2M nodes will be initialized, based on authentication data of the master terminal, so that the M2M node or nodes can be addressed using the master terminal ID and can directly communicate with the cellular network on the basis of the initialized state of authentication. A network for carrying out the method is also described.
