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 2):
The relay device according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein an upstream optical transmission path that passes an upstream optical signal flowing from the terminal station on one side to the terminal station on the other side and a downstream optical transmission path that passes a downstream optical signal flowing in the opposite direction to the upstream optical signal are arranged between the terminal stations, and wherein the superimposing circuit superimposes the monitoring information onto one or both of the upstream optical signal and the downstream optical signal of the primary signal.
