Abstract
The invention concerns a system configuration setting method and a transmission apparatus, and simplifies system reconfiguration operations. The transmission apparatus comprises an HMI control block , a main control block , a line connection block , high-speed units and , low-speed units to , and a power supply unit , wherein the high-speed and low-speed units are managed by the main control block , whose management information is also stored in the HMI control block . A system reconfiguration command associated with a unit insertion, removal, etc. is entered into the transmission apparatus from a terminal 10. In the HMI control block , a configuration setting judging section refers to the management information in accordance with the command, and determines whether reconfiguration is needed or not; if it is determined that the reconfiguration is needed, the configuration setting judging section sends to the main control block a control request containing updated management information associated with the system reconfiguration, whereupon the main control block effects the system reconfiguration to manage and control the respective units.
