Abstract: A transition assistance device that assists device replacement in an optical access system including a transition source subscriber line terminal station device and a transition destination subscriber line terminal station device, the transition assistance device including: a first member, and a second member that is movable, in which the first member includes a first port for connecting to the transition source subscriber line terminal station device, and a second port for connecting to the transition destination subscriber line terminal station device, the second member includes a third port for connecting to one or more subscriber line terminal devices connected to the transition source subscriber line terminal station device, and at a start of the device replacement, the first port and the third port are connected to each other via a connection line; a cutting unit that cuts the connection line connecting the first port and the third port to each other after the transition assistance device is connected t

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a plurality of devices, each of the devices includes a monitoring unit that monitors at least one other device and detects an error that has occurred in the other device, and if an error is detected by the monitoring unit, the device performs a device reset indicating a reset of the operating state of the other device by the monitoring unit or a power source reset indicating a reset of the supply of electric power to the communication apparatus by a chain-of-command unit included in the device.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a communication unit, a power supply unit, a temperature monitoring unit, and a control unit. The communication unit communicates with an additional apparatus. The power supply unit supplies power to components mounted in the communication apparatus. The temperature monitoring unit monitors a temperature in the communication apparatus to detect presence or absence of a temperature abnormality. In a case where the temperature monitoring unit detects the temperature abnormality, the control unit performs power supply stop processing of stopping the power supply from the power supply unit to at least some of the components. Furthermore, the control unit stops or decreases communication of the communication unit in a case where the temperature monitoring unit detects the temperature abnormality.

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a plurality of devices, each of the plurality of devices includes a monitoring unit configured to monitor at least one other device to detect an error that has occurred in the other device, and each of the plurality of devices is monitored by at least one other device.

Abstract: A construction of integrated circuitry comprises a structure comprising conductive material having insulative material there-above. The conductive material and the insulative material respectively have opposing sides in a vertical cross-section. A first insulating material is laterally outward of the opposing sides of the conductive material in the vertical cross-section. A second insulating material is laterally outward of the first insulating material in the vertical cross-section. The second insulating material is of different composition from that of the first insulating material. The second insulating material laterally covers a lower portion of the opposing sides of the insulative material in the vertical cross-section. The second insulating material does not laterally cover an upper portion of the opposing sides of the insulative material in the vertical cross-section. A third insulating material is laterally outward of the second insulating material in the vertical cross-section.
