A system includes first, second, and third apparatuses. The second apparatus converts a first control-command received from the first apparatus to second control-commands compatible with the third apparatus, requests the third apparatus to perform the second control-commands, and notifies the first apparatus of a normal finish of the first control-command when all the second control-commands have finished normally, so that the first apparatus updates a first status of the third apparatus that is held by the first apparatus. The third processor updates a second status of the third apparatus that is held by the third apparatus, upon finishing each second control-command, generates reverse-commands for restoring a result of having executing the second control-commands to a status prior to executing the second control-commands, and, when all the second control-commands have not been executed, restores the second status to a status prior to having executed the second control-commands by executing the reverse-commands.

System and method for restoring a status of an apparatus controlled by multiple commands

A transponder among a plurality of transponders that are connected with a client device via a plurality of optical couplers, the transponder includes a protection timer configured to be activated when an alarm indication signal transmitted from the client device is received, and a controller configured to control transmission of an optical signal to one of the plurality of optical couplers when the protection timer times out, wherein a timeout value of the protection timer is set to a value different from a timeout value of a protection timer included in another transponder.
