Abstract

A WDM optical transmission system includes a plurality of optical transmission devices, each of which include a first memory that stores a first control program that controls a dispersion compensation amount in a host device; a processor to execute the first control program; a notification frame transmission circuit that transmits an information indicating a setting value of the dispersion compensation amount and a detection result corresponding to the setting value to another device; a third memory that stores a second control program that calculates a control value of the dispersion compensation amount in the another device; and a control frame transmission circuit that transmits the control value to the another device, wherein the processor executes the second control program when a problem occurs in the another device, and controls the dispersion compensation amount in the host device when a problem occurs in the host device.
