The method for assigning an identification number is constructed in that in a transmission system with transmission system managing equipment being connected to at least one of a plurality of pieces of connected transmission equipment, each of all or some of the transmission equipment acquires information peculiar to adjacent devices connected thereto and holds the information as peripheral connected-state data of each piece of transmission equipment. The transmission system managing equipment collects information from all of the transmission equipment which hold the peripheral connected-state data of each piece of transmission equipment, and on the basis of the information, determines and transmits an identification number for each piece of transmission equipment. Each of the plurality of pieces of transmission equipment carries out internal setting of the identification number thereof transmitted from the transmission system managing equipment. By this duplication of the same identification number among different pieces of transmission equipment, setting error or the like in setting the number can be avoided.
