1. An optical transmission device comprising:
- multiple optical communication cards;
a control card configured to control the optical communication cards; and
a switch card connected to the multiple optical communication cards, whereineach of the optical communication cards comprises;
a signal transmission/reception unit configured to perform optical-electrical signal conversion for a signal received from outside;
a first FEC processing unit configured to perform FEC processing for a signal from the signal transmission/reception unit;
a first function selection unit configured to select a type of the FEC processing and to control the first FEC processing unit; and
a first control unit configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from the control card,the switch card comprises;
a second FEC processing unit configured to perform FEC processing for a signal from one of the optical communication cards; and
a second control unit configured to select a type of the FEC processing and to control the second FEC processing unit and configured to transmit/receive a signal to/from the control card, andthe control card comprises;
a data table that associates a transmission line with multiple different types of FEC functions applicable to the transmission line and that stores them; and
a retrieval processing unit configured to retrieve information to be transmitted to at least one of the first control unit and the second control unit from the data table.
