ABSTRACT:
An optical transmission equipment having a switchover control function of optical transmission lines enables to reduce a required space in a common equipment supervision and control portion. The optical transmission equipment includes a pair of a work interface unit and a protection interface unit each accommodating an optical transmission line, and an add drop multiplexing unit for selecting an optical signal output from either of the interface unit pair. Each interface unit includes a switchover controller, and each of the interface unit pair is mutually connected via a communication path so as to share status information among the switchover controllers. Upon a failure in the work interface unit side of the interface unit pair, the failure is reported to the protection interface unit side prepared as an object for switchover, to send a switchover request from the protection interface unit side to the add drop multiplexing unit.
