FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: double-ring network, configured with two or more transmission stations #ST1 - #ST8, each fitted with a pair of communication ports 10 and 11, adapted to perform two-way communication, including any two neighbouring transmission stations as terminal stations and any transmission station as a base, connected to each other in form of a ring by communication ports 10 and 11 over a transmission line, for internal communication between transmission stations, in which each of the transmission stations #ST1 - #ST8 is adapted to determine whether frame signals are received from neighbouring transmission stations, transmit rout identification frame signals for identifying routs to neighbouring transmission stations in case of a fault during reception, and set up its own station as a terminal station in place of the current terminal station if no replies to rout identification frames are received from neighbouring transmission stations so that they can arrive at the next transmission stations connected to the ring.
EFFECT: terminal stations can be automatically set up to stop circulation of transmission frames regardless of their number.
