In a synchronous transfer mode/asynchronous transfer mode converting transmission path terminating apparatus, a receive synchronous transfer mode processing unit has an out of synchronization detecting unit for detecting out of synchronization information, and an asynchronous transfer mode cell extracting unit has an asynchronous transfer mode cell synchronizing unit for forcibly outputting a signal representing out of synchronization when receiving the out of synchronization information from the out of synchronization detecting unit, an asynchronous transfer mode cell discard judging unit for forcibly outputting a cell discard signal when receiving the out of synchronization information from the out of synchronization detecting unit, and a storage write controlling unit for forcibly inhibiting an asynchronous transfer mode cell from being written in a storage unit when receiving the out of synchronization information from the out of synchronization detecting unit, thereby always capturing accurate data (cells) to continue a process even immediately after generation of an alarm such as an SEF signal, besides transferring error information used to accurately switch a transmission path so as to prevent unnecessary switching of the transmission path.

An optical terminal system having self-monitoring function is disclosed, which includes a high-level group loopback section for internally looping back a serial electric signal, a low-level group loopback section for internally looping back a parallel electric signal, a self-loop section for connecting a receiver device and a transmitter device to loop an electric signal received by the receiver device directly to the transmitter device, and a self-monitoring controller for performing a self-monitoring test on respective components of the receiver device and transmitter device by using the self-loop section and either one of the high-level group loopback section and the low-level group loopback section. The optical terminal system can selfcheck the functions thereof through self-monitoring without depending on a network.
