ABSTRACT:
A method for initializing a network for data transmission between a plurality of subscribers being connected to one another in ring-like fashion, includes sending a clock signal through the network in a continuous data stream, originating at a network position. In each subscriber, a process of locking onto the clock frequency is started after reception of the data stream, and the data stream is forwarded to the next subscribers in succession after locking on is completed. In order to speed up the initializing process, the arriving data stream is split into two identical streams at each subscriber, as long as it has not yet locked on. One of the streams is used for the locking-on process and the other of the streams is immediately forwarded to the next subscriber.
