A ranging signal R1 generated by a signal generator and reaches to a signal checker via a working system transmission line, a loop circuit, and an auxiliary system transmission line. The signal checker measures a delay time from the generation to the arrival of the signal R1. A ranging signal R2 generated by the signal generator and reaches to a signal checker via an auxiliary system transmission line, a loop circuit, and an auxiliary system transmission line. The signal checker measures a delay time from the generation to the arrival of the signal R12. A delay time of the working system transmission line is calculated from the delay times of the signals R1 and R2. Disruption of the services provided by the other ONUs can be prevented since the working system transmission line is not used for upstream communication of the ranging signals R1 and R2.
