Monitor information transmitting/receiving apparatus in submarine cable system

摘要

A monitor information transmitting/receiving apparatus transmits/receives monitor information data about each cable landing station in a submarine cable system in which a plurality of cable landing stations are arranged in the form of a ring. The apparatus includes a monitor information setting section and a selection section. The monitor information setting section generates monitor information to be sent by setting monitor information about a self-station in monitor information including monitor information data about each station which is received through each of routes in two directions, and containing data for specifying set times in the monitor information. The selection section selects data, of the monitor information data about the respective stations which are received through the respective routes in the two direction, which corresponds to new set time as latest monitor information data.
