The method defines steps and sequences for dealing with peripheral units reported as defective in a communications system. A repetition counter for counting a number of start-up attempts is provided for a restarting procedure. During a locked phase, the peripheral unit that is affected is temporarily taken out of service. After that, a monitoring phase with a temporary start-up is initiated during which tests for faults are carried out. If the unit is determined to be free from faults, a final start-up takes place following the monitoring phase. In the case of a fault during the monitoring phase, the count of the repetition counter is compared with a threshold value. A final taking-out-of-service takes place if the count of the repetition counter exceeds the threshold value. Otherwise, the repetition counter is incremented and another transition into the locked phase takes place. The duration of the locked phase is dependent on the count of the repetition counter.
