An AR2500 can function as a switch in an industry field to implement fast switching on a
data channel, which improves network reliability in the industry field. In Figure 2-4, Router
A through Router I are AR2500s and connected through GE interfaces. They constitute two
ring networks and connects to the substations, power distribution station, and power
distribution cabinet. SEP runs on the ring network and ensures fast switching of data channels
between the AR2500s.
