The objective of the present invention is to control a beacon in a mesh beacon. A system contains a plurality of beacons which are capable of communicating with one another within a prescribed radio wave reaching distance and which transmit and receive prescribed signals, each of the plurality of beacons being disposed within the radio wave reaching distance of at least one other beacon, and a control device capable of communicating with at least one of the plurality of beacons. Each beacon is provided with: a receiving unit for receiving a signal including a setting change instruction sent from the control device; a setting unit for changing the setting value of a prescribed item in the device on the basis of the setting change instruction; and a transmitting unit for transmitting a signal including information based on the setting value changed by the setting means to the control device.
