  • the time correction unit 18 corrects the time transmitted by the self-running time generation unit 16 based on the current temperature and transmits the corrected time to the time selection unit 19 based on the difference between the temperature and the time thus obtained.
  • the time selection unit 19 selects the time from the time correction unit 18 and outputs it. Since this time is corrected for the temperature inside the OLT 1, it simulates the time received from the reference time input port 3 before the time input failure occurs.
  • the time selection unit 19 can generate a time corresponding to the reference time based on the corrected time, it is possible to output more accurate time information from the ONU 2 even when a time input failure occurs.
