Abstract
An optical communications controller for managing and controlling multiple devices under control of an optical transmission network, the optical communications controller has a controller configured to: obtain through a different transmission path different from a transmission path of a primary signal, a control signal including a state of each of the plurality of devices and a transmission path state; search for an alternative communicable path and obtain the control signal using the alternative path when the control signal cannot be obtained; and continue management control of the optical transmission network.
