Abstract:
A system configuration setting method for a transmission apparatus that includes a main control block which sets system configuration by managing multiple units of multiple kinds and an HMI control block which receives a command from an external terminal and makes a control request to the main control block, the method comprising a step wherein:in response to a system configuration command from the terminal, the HMI control block determines, based on management information managed therein, whether system reconfiguration is needed or not, and if it is determined that the reconfiguration is needed, the HMI control block sends a control request to the main control block to change the system configuration so as to match an installed unit, whereupon the system reconfiguration is effected by the main control block; and wherein the HMI control block includes a management table to manage an installed configuration of the units and the main control block includes a management table to manage an installed configuration of the units, such that the installed information of the two management tables is controlled to coincide.
