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 5):
The monitoring system according to  claim 4 ,\n wherein a plurality of the relay devices are interposed between the terminal stations, wherein the oscillation frequency of a signal used by the superimposing circuit of the relay device in modulation processing differs for each of the relay devices, wherein the extraction circuit of the monitoring device extracts the monitoring information of each relay device separately from each other based on a difference in the oscillation frequency, and wherein the monitoring apparatus monitors the plurality of the respective relay devices based on the respective pieces of monitoring information.
