Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep a looping back state and to stabilize system connection by performing the cancellation of loopback when a reception level is recovered at a state where the reception level from a transmission line is lowered and loopback connection is performed with a time constant. CONSTITUTION:Each of monitoring circuits 5, 6 monitors whether or not an input level is lowered less than a normal threshold value, respectively, and sends a loopback signal to a control circuit 7 when it is lowered less than the normal value. When the circuit 5 or 6 begins to send the loopback signal, the circuit 7 receives it, and disconnects connection between an optical-electrical conversion circuit(O/E) 1 and the reception terminal of a branch insertion part 9. Simultaneously, a signal for connection control is sent to a switching circuit 8 so as to connect an O/E 4 to the reception terminal of the branch insertion part 9, and the loopback connection is performed. After that, when the reception level is recovered to a normal state by recovering to a value over the normal value, the loopback signal to the circuit 7 disappears. However, the circuit 7 cancels the connection after keeping the loopback connection for a protective period set in advance.

In the loopback method of the conventional optical loop transmission line described above, a loopback connection is made immediately when the reception level from the optical transmission line drops below a specified value, and a loopback connection is made immediately when the reception level from the optical transmission line drops below the specified value. Since the loopback connection is canceled when the reception level rises and falls above the threshold due to mortal noise in the optical transmission line or deterioration of the optical element, the loopback signal is generated and stopped alternately. However, there is a drawback that the loopback connection and its release are repeated alternately, making the system connection unstable.
