Abstract

A power supply controller includes a first port, a second port, and a controller. The first port is connected to a power supply device. The second port is connected to a first relay node device via a wired path. The controller performs control to supply power received from the power supply device from the second port to the first relay node device. The controller performs control to generate a power-on instruction frame for instructing the first relay node device started by receiving power supply to start power supply from a port included in the first relay node device to a second relay node device connected to the first relay node device via a wired path. The controller performs control to transmit the generated power-on instruction frame from the second port.
