An optical signal connection apparatus includes first and second routers configured to handle optical signals and electrical signals. A first node includes a first port coupled to the first router and is configured to handle a first type of optical signals associated with the first route; a first line-setting unit configured to couple the first and second nodes for data communication between the first and second nodes; a first control unit to control setting an optical communication link between the first and second nodes; and a first signal-type storage unit. A second node includes a second port coupled to the second router and configured to handle a second type of optical signals, wherein the first information is compared with second information on the second type of optical signal to determine whether the first and second communication links are compatible to each other.
