ABSTRACT:
An optical network system enabling confirmation of connection and tracking of wavelength paths at a high speed and a low cost without introducing any special hardware by having a wavelength path monitoring unit in an NMS give temporary change of optical power through a change generating unit to an optical signal S from an optical transmitting/receiving node, by having a change detecting unit confirm that this change of optical power has propagated through an optical transmission line and appeared at each node on the way, and confirming connections and monitoring the wavelength path while confirming the presence of the change.
