Abstract

A transmission apparatus that does not include a plurality of switches, that cross-connects a signal, and that can handle various redundancy settings determined by a user. An address information generation section generates address information indicative of the destination of a signal, from redundancy setting information and cross connect setting information. An activation information setting section activates and deactivates activation information included in the address information when failure occurs. An address information insertion section inserts the address information stored in an address information storage section into the signal and outputs the signal to a bus. A signal output section receives the signal having the address information that is the same as own address information and outputs the signal to a next stage in the case of the activation information indicating activation.
