Abstract:
1. An optically transmitting apparatus comprising: means for receiving an optical signal that is configured in accordance with any one frame format among a plurality of frame formats and includes at least a clock signal and a data signal; means for performing an optical-electric/electric-optical conversion on the received optical signal; means for extracting the clock signal and the data signal, which correspond to the frame format, from the optical-electric converted signal; and means for generating a frame corresponding to the frame format, in which said optically transmitting apparatus transmits the optical signal to an external apparatus and further comprises: identifying means for correlating and storing an idle code indicative of a block where a data is not communicated and the frame format, and then identifying the received frame format, wherein the identifying means comprises: means for reading the idle code from extracted said data signal; and means for identifying the frame format corresponding to the read idle code, in which a transmitting process is executed in accordance with the identified frame format.
