In a method for transmitting a message from a source subscriber station (11..) to a destination subscriber station (11..) in a communications network (12), a configuration service which can be started from a specified subscriber station (11.4) sets the subscriber station (11..) either as repeater station or then as non-repeater station of the communications network (12). The message, which has been provided by the source subscriber station (11..) with a credit value before a first transmission, is retransmitted by a subscriber station (11..), which has been set as repeater station, only if its credit value is not equal to zero, the credit value being reduced by a specific amount each time the message is transmitted. The configuration service ensures that two subscriber stations (11..), set as repeater stations, are so far apart from one another in the communications network (12) that no disturbing interference is produced on the transmission medium by the transmission. <IMAGE> |
