Methods are described for preemphasizing an optical multiplex signal that comprises a plurality of signals having different wavelengths, which are transmitted by a transmitter to a receiver. Power levels for the signals are set at the transmitter and measured at the receiver. A mean power level for the transmit-side signals is ascertained. New signal power level values are ascertained from the current power levels of the signals at the transmitter and at the receiver and set on the transmit side such that signal-to-noise ratios for all signal are approximately equalized at the receiver. In order to make more precise settings for the preemphasis, mean gain values and mean attenuations are ascertained from the sum power levels for the multiplex signal measured at the input and at the output of each amplification section and incorporated together with an effective noise figure into the process of ascertaining the new signal power level values. The preemphasis is thus performed autonomously without there being any need for further planning resources for control purposes.
