Abstract
The invention provides an optical subscriber network system which can secure dual construction of optical transmission/reception sections of optical network units, specification of a failed faulty point in optical transmission lines and reception circuits of the optical network units and regular timing transmission of upstream data. The optical subscriber network system has a passive optical network construction wherein a plurality of network units are accommodated in a station apparatus through an optical transmission line using a passive optical element, and includes bypass transmission lines for mutual supervision control between the network units. A network unit mutual supervision control signal is communicated between the network units through the bypass transmission lines. The network unit mutual supervision control information received by each of the network units is transmitted to the station apparatus through the optical transmission line so that a fault is supervised based on the network unit mutual supervision control information by the station apparatus.
