Abstract
A communication device includes: an optical-communication circuit that is capable of performing optical communication with a different communication device and transmits a first electric signal to the different communication device at a startup time of the communication device; an electro-communication circuit that is capable of performing electro communication with the different communication device and receives a second electric signal transmitted from the different communication device in response to the first electric signal; and a control circuit that transmits error information indicating an error in the optical communication to a device after the second electric signal is received by the electro-communication circuit.
Claims14
A communication device comprising:
- an optical-communication circuit that is capable of performing optical communication with a different communication device and transmits a first electric signal to the different communication device at a startup time of the communication device;
- an electro-communication circuit that is capable of performing electro communication with the different communication device and receives a second electric signal transmitted from the different communication device in response to the first electric signal;
- and
- a control circuit that transmits error information indicating an error in the optical communication to a device after the second electric signal is received by the electro-communication circuit.
An inspection method comprising:
- transmitting a first electric signal from an electro-communication circuit, which is provided in a communication device and is capable of performing electro communication with a different communication device, to the different communication device at a startup time;
- receiving a second electric signal transmitted from the different communication device in response to the first electric signal;
- and
- transmitting, to a device, error information indicating an error occurring in optical communication performed by an optical-communication circuit, which is provided in the communication device and is capable of performing optical communication with the different communication device, after receiving the second electric signal.
