2. Description of the Related Art One end of an optical transmission line (optical fiber) is connected to input / output terminals of a large number of optical communication devices, and the other end of the optical transmission line is mutually connected by one (or a plurality of) star couplers. An optical transmission system configured to transmit an optical signal from any optical communication device to any optical communication device is known. Such an optical transmission system is described in JP-A-64-32734 as an example. Assuming that one of the communication devices interconnected by the star coupler is a station device and many other communication devices are subscriber devices, one of the station devices is a main communication network or a main information processing device. , The optical transmission system connected by the star coupler forms one LAN.

Here, when a subscriber unit communicates with a main communication network or a main information processing unit, a station device is used regardless of which subscriber unit is the partner, so that the LAN has a certain standard. In order to ensure the reliability of the system, it was conceived not to use a single station apparatus but to provide an active system and a standby system for redundancy. In other words, two equivalent station devices are provided, and both station devices are connected to the star coupler. Even if one of the station devices fails, the other station device is used, so that the entire LAN can be used. An attempt is made to reduce the occurrence of failures that make the service unusable.

In a conventional optical transmission system using a star coupler in such a transmission path, the transmission from the station apparatus is performed even though the transmission path between the star coupler and the station apparatus has a redundant configuration. Since the wavelength of the optical signal to be transmitted is not changed for each station device, there is a possibility that optical signals transmitted from a plurality of station devices collide. Therefore, in order to avoid the collision of the optical signals, only the transmission signal from the active system station device is transmitted, and the time division control for prohibiting the transmission signal from the standby system device must be performed. In this case, each time the transmission signal from the standby system station is prohibited, the standby transmission line cannot be monitored,
Therefore, there is a problem that two transmission path failures cannot always be detected.
