Abstract:
Provided is a technology for simultaneously monitoring a plurality of relay devices. A relay device  1  comprises a superimposing unit  2  and a monitor unit  3 . The relay device  1  is interposed on an optical transmission path between optical communication devices that send and receive an optical signal, and has a function for relaying the optical signal flowing through the optical transmission path. The monitor unit  3  monitors the operation status of the relay device  1 . At a predetermined timing, the superimposing unit  2  superimposes monitor unit  3  monitoring-information onto an optical signal of a primary signal flowing through the optical transmission path, by performing modulation processing on the basis of an oscillation signal having a predetermined oscillation frequency. The relay device  1  can spontaneously superimpose the monitoring information onto an optical signal and transmit same.

Claim (Index 4):
A monitoring system of a relay device comprising:\n the relay device that includes\n a monitor that monitors an operation status of the relay device; and \n a superimposing circuit that superimposes monitoring information acquired by the monitor onto an optical signal of a primary signal at a predetermined timing by performing modulation processing based on an oscillation signal having a predetermined oscillation frequency, the primary signal being an optical signal which flows through an optical transmission path between terminal stations as optical communication devices that transmit and receive the optical signal and containing information of a transmission object; \n an extraction circuit that extracts the monitoring information from an optical signal containing the monitoring information of the relay device superimposed through passing the relay device; and a monitoring apparatus that monitors the relay device based on the monitoring information extracted by the extraction circuit.
