Abstract
An object of the present disclosure is to enable an ONU to acquire ID information of terminal devices even when a network device is connected between the ONU and the terminal devices, and to thereby enable generation of a logical path between the ONU and the OLT. The present disclosure relates to an optical communication network system configured to connect a terminal device and a passive optical network (PON) system via a network device. The PON system includes an optical line terminal and an optical network unit connected using an optical transmission line. The network device is configured to acquire ID information of the terminal device, and notify the optical network unit of the acquired ID information. The optical network unit is configured to acquire ID information of the terminal device from the network device, and generate a logical path to the optical line terminal on the optical transmission line using the acquired ID information.
