Abstract
The invention relates to a method for conveying management information in a WDM system from a number of wavelength converters to a central management unit, wherein a management information signal is superimposed on the WDM signal from the respective wavelength converter. A fraction of the optical signal in the common optical transmission line is tapped off to a detector and the different management information signals are recovered by a receiver unit which is connected to the detector. The invention also relates to a WDM system and a pluggable WDM wavelength converter.
