Optical transmission equipment preventing mulfunction in recovery from fault

摘要

An optical transmission apparatus includes a demultiplexer for separating wavelength-division multiplexing light received from a first optical transmission line into signals of different wavelengths to transmit the signals to an outside and a multiplexer for multiplexing signals of different wavelengths received from the outside to transmit multiplexed signals to a second optical transmission line. An input check unit is provided for monitoring a power level of a signal separated by the demultiplexer and for providing an output indicative thereof. An output adjuster is provided for intercepting a signal from the outside so as to inhibit receipt of the signal from the outside by the multiplexer depending on the output of the input check unit.
