A clock supplying device for supplying a clock signal to be used in an operation of a communication apparatus, includes an oscillator for generating the clock signal; a measurement unit for acquiring a reference clock signal extracted from a transmission line connected to the communication apparatus, and measuring a frequency difference between the clock signal and the reference clock signal; and a determiner for determining whether a warm-up operation of the oscillator unit has been completed or not, in accordance with measurement results of the frequency difference and a status of power supplying.

Method and device for supplying clock

A communication signal suppressing apparatus capable of reducing a load of a firmware using portion is provided in a communication signal apparatus such as a common line signal apparatus. A common line signal processing circuit corresponds to hardware used to execute a portion of the level-2 process operation, and this common line signal processing circuit owns such a function capable of discarding a reception frame having no meaning other than a confirmation response, and also capable of extracting a reverse-direction sequence number thereof. As a result, the common line signal processing circuit performs a remaining level-2 process operation. Thus, since a workload of a processing apparatus (CPU) using the firmware can be reduced, this firmware can be designed with sufficient capacities. Also, other process operations can be carried out by this CPU.
