Abstract: If wavelengths ?a and ?b are dropped in NE (Network Equipment) 2 and a wavelength ?c is made Through, and all of wavelengths are made Through in NE3 in a certain time period, a route from NE1 to NE2, a route from NE2 to NE4, and a route from NE1 to NE4 are established. If a user who uses the wavelength ?a from NE1 to NE2, and a user who uses the wavelength ?b from NE2 to NE4 do not use the routes in another time period, and if another user desires to use a route from NE1 to NE3 and a route from NE3 to NE4, the routes are reestablished in a way such that the wavelength ?a is converted into the wavelength ?b and made Through in NE2, and the wavelength ?b is dropped and added in NE3.

Abstract: An optical wavelength division multiplexing transmission system is disclosed, in which it is possible to establish a new additional line readily, without affecting lines. The optical wavelength division multiplexing transmission system has a plurality of cascaded transmission devices respectively having optical wavelength division multiplexing functions, and each of the plurality of transmission devices includes a management section for managing used and unused wavelengths, and the respective transmission devices located in a section where a new additional line is to be established allocate an unused wavelength to the new additional line, on the basis of the unused wavelength information held by the management sections, thereby ensuring a route going to the target transmission device.

Abstract: A transmission device and an integrated circuit improved in quality and reliability of digital transmission control. A memory stores an input signal, write address generating means generates a write address for writing in the memory, and read address generating means generates a read address for reading from the memory. Phase state monitoring means monitors a transition from a steady phase state in which writing/reading in/from the memory is normally performed or from a startup state to a coincident phase state in which address values of the write and read addresses coincide with each other or to an unstable phase state in which a phase fluctuation margin is one-sided. When the coincident phase state or the unstable phase state is detected, reset signal output means outputs a reset signal to the write and read address generating means such that the phase relation between the write and read addresses is brought to an optimum phase relation.

Abstract: A communication signal suppressing apparatus capable of reducing a load of a firmware using portion is provided in a communication signal apparatus such as a common line signal apparatus. A common line signal processing circuit corresponds to hardware used to execute a portion of the level-2 process operation, and this common line signal processing circuit owns such a function capable of discarding a reception frame having no meaning other than a confirmation response, and also capable of extracting a reverse-direction sequence number thereof. As a result, the common line signal processing circuit performs a remaining level-2 process operation. Thus, since a workload of a processing apparatus (CPU) using the firmware can be reduced, this firmware can be designed with sufficient capacities. Also, other process operations can be carried out by this CPU.

Abstract: A message information terminating system in a switching center is connected to a plurality of remote stations by Derived Data Link interfaces and includes transmission lines connected to the same data terminal unit of the switching center, for transmitting message information containing various information such as subscriber information with communication data by framing bits between the switching center and each of said remote stations, and a message terminating equipment provided with a processing unit for analyzing the message information and disposed in a network at the switching center. The data terminal unit collects the message information from a plurality of the remote stations and transmits the message information to the message terminating equipment through the network.
