Abstract
An information transmission device includes: ring-ports; an access-port; a communication-path-setting unit to facilitate or cut off communication of the ring-ports or the access-port, based on a communication setting determined such that communication paths having priority levels and assigned with same identifiers have different sections; a control-signal-transmission unit, when a communication failure occurs between one ring-port and another information transmission device, to transmit, from another ring-port, a first control signal for instructing a cutoff of communication of the access-port in the communication path having a low priority level, and transmit a second control signal for instructing a facilitation of communication of the ring-ports; an access-port-control unit, upon receiving the first control signal, to cut off the communication of the access-port in the communication path having the low priority level; and a ring-port-control unit, upon receiving the second control signal, to facilitate communication of the ring-port having non-communication failure.
