In a transmission network system in which a path is set between a transmission node and a receiving node and which transmits a transmission signal between the nodes, crossconnect settings of the nodes are enabled while personal settings are minimized. A transmission node has a first path-setting-receiving section; transmission-path-setting change sections; and change insertion sections which report information about a change in path setting received by said path-setting-receiving section by inserting the information into a transmission signal to be transmitted from the node to a receiving node. The receiving node has a second path-setting-receiving section and receiving-path-setting change sections for changing path settings of the node on the basis of the information about a change in path setting.
