An optical receiver unit is connected to each of a work optical line and a protection optical line, and after an optical signal is converted to an electrical signal, only the overhead of the signal is extracted. Furthermore, bytes accommodated in the overhead are demultiplexed. K bytes are transferred to both an APS processing unit and a mismatching judgement unit. The mismatching judging unit judges whether or not a WTR, DNR, RR, etc. are set in the K1 byte received from the opposite station, compares the mode of the opposite station with the mode of its own station, and detects a mismatching between the modes of the opposite and own stations. The result of the detection is transferred to the APS processing unit, and if there is a mismatching, the mismatching is solved. <IMAGE> |
