Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for clock synchronization between plural ports of a physical layer device and a synchronization device.SOLUTION: A control method includes a step of selecting a port serving as the source of a ground master clock (302). The selected port reproduces the ground master clock on the basis of transmission from a link destination. A multiport PHY IC outputs the RX_CLK of a ground master source port (304). The TX_CLK of the ground master source port is obtained from a local oscillator (306). Then, the TX_CLK of all the other ports are obtained from the output of a clock synchronization unit (308). The synchronization unit causes clock synchronization on the basis of reproduction clock from the multiport PHY IC having the ground master source port (310).
