Abstract
A shelf of a network synchronization device includes: a clock input reception unit which receives an input of a clock signal; a clock output unit which outputs a clock signal; a clock interruption detection unit which detects a clock interruption if the clock input reception unit does not receive a clock; an AIS signal detection unit which detects an AIS signal if the AIS signal is received through the clock input reception unit; an AIS signal generation unit which generates the AIS signal; an alarm control unit which outputs a predetermined alarm notification when the AIS signal detection unit does not detect the AIS signal if the clock interruption detection unit detects the clock interruption; and an output signal selection unit which outputs the AIS signal generated by the AIS signal generation unit to the clock output unit if the clock interruption detection unit detects the clock interruption.
