Abstract: To provide a transmission apparatus capable of setting the same control data to the entire child transmission apparatuses instantaneously at a time, thereby leading to improved maintenance operation and bringing about efficient maintenance and system stability. The transmission apparatus receives from a maintenance operator a designation of a parent apparatus having the control data set in advance. That control data is to be inherited to a child apparatus. The transmission apparatus determines whether any transmission apparatus has already been registered as parent apparatus in the child apparatus, and also determines whether the designated parent apparatus has already been registered as a child apparatus in the child apparatus. The transmission apparatus then requests the designated parent apparatus to transfer the control data in the designated parent apparatus to the child apparatus, when the designated parent apparatus is not registered in the child apparatus.

Abstract: When a tunable laser is operating at any one of the different wavelengths, wavelength data is sampled and stored in a memory device. In the case where the same operating wavelength as a wavelength hitherto operated needs to be reset to the tunable laser, the wavelength data stored in the memory device is set to the tunable laser. This makes it possible to avoid a shift in wavelength due to age degradation of the tunable laser that selectively outputs any one of light signals of different wavelengths in dependence on the wavelength data set to the tunable laser.
