OPTICAL TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM ON WHICH PROGRAM FOR THE APPARATUS IS RECORDED

摘要

A removable optical interface module is used to allow an optical transmission apparatus to flexibly respond to a change from a type of service to another that uses a different light wavelength. To this end, the optical transmission apparatus is removably provided with an optical interface module storing attribute information and includes a plurality of service implementation units implementing services using signals transmitted and received through the optical interface module. An operation selecting unit is provided which selects and causes a service implementation unit among the plurality of service implementation units that implement a service corresponding to the attribute information to operate.
