ABSTRACT:
A method of detecting the network configuration of a communication network in which a plurality of nodes are connected in a ring form, comprises the steps of; enabling a node of the plurality of nodes to store its own node identifier in a specific position of an identifier storing area of a frame, and transmitting said frame along the network in the same direction; enabling each of the plurality of nodes to store its own node identifier in the identifier storing area of said frame and again transmitting said frame in the same direction, and abandoning said frame, according to contents of said frame received from the adjacent node; and enabling each of the plurality of nodes to recognize an arrangement of the plurality of nodes on the communication network, on the basis of contents of the identifier storing area of said frame constantly transmitted and received on the communication network.
