A transmitter to be added or reduced turns ON/OFF an optical output. A relay station and a receiving terminal station acquire the amount of fluctuation of the optical output of the received signal light when the optical output of the added transmitter is turned ON and OFF. From the amount of fluctuation of the optical output, the number of wavelengths after the addition or reduction is acquired. Without an OSC signal, each station may be informed of the number of wavelengths. Therefore, the configuration for transmitting and receiving the OSC signal is not requested, thereby reducing the total cost, appropriately controlling the gain of the optical amplifier, and successfully maintaining transmission quality. |
