Patent ID: 7945163

Claim:
A station-side apparatus (OLT) of a wavelength multiplexing PON system, which executes allotment of wavelengths in response to wavelength allotment requests from a plurality of in-home apparatuses (ONUs), the apparatus comprising: a wavelength/network address allotting device that is provided with a DHCP server in advance, which dynamically allots a wavelength, the wavelength/network address allotting device comprises a wavelength/network address storing device for storing a plurality of wavelengths and network addresses to be allotted, and has a function of calling the wavelength and the network address from the wavelength/network address storing device according to an allotment request signal from the in-home apparatus, and transmitting the wavelength and the network address as an allotment signal when starting up the system; a network address to the in-home apparatus in response to the wavelength allotment request from the in-home apparatus; an allotment request signal receiving device for receiving the allotment request signal as a first wavelength control signal that is common to the plurality of in-home apparatuses; an allotment signal transmitting device for transmitting the allotment signal as a second wavelength control signal that is common to the plurality of in-home apparatuses; a collision detecting device for detecting with the first wavelength control signal that the allotment request signals from the plurality of in-home apparatuses are collided; and a collision signal transmitting device for transmitting a collision signal commonly to the plurality of in-home apparatuses by the second wavelength control signal when the collision detecting device detects a collision.
