Abstract
There is described a cross-connect apparatus which can apply a cross-connect operation in place of a function of a hard switch that has conventionally been used for a purpose other than a cross-connect operation, by selection of line setting information used for path switching and service selection operations, and by performing a cross-connect operation based on the information, thereby preventing redundant configuration of the cross-connect apparatus and diminishing power consumption.
