Original Abstract Submitted
in this optical communication device, the multiple optical signal processing units are provided on one optical path; and on the basis of a mask setting that is set by a specific optical signal processing unit, which is among the multiple optical signal processing units and includes the detection unit that has detected the failure, for a next-stage optical signal processing unit connected to the optical path after the specific optical signal processing unit, the reception unit does not output, to the outside, a failure notification from the detection unit provided in the optical signal processing unit for which the mask setting is set and outputs, to the outside, a failure notification from the detection unit provided in any of the optical signal processing units for which the mask setting is not set.
