Abstract
ATM communication terminal devices (KE ) of a communication network that is designed according to ATM can be inventively allocated to a ring network structure, whereby a ring network address (EA,GA) is respectively assigned to these ATM communication terminal devices (KE ), and the ring network access and the ring network communication are controlled in a ring-network-specific manner. On the basis of the imaging, into the virtual channel identification (VCI) of ATM cells, of a ring network address (EA,GA) identifying one or more ATM communication terminal devices (KE ), an emulated ring network structure (LAN emulation) is realized easily.
