Abstract

A communication control unit receives destination terminal identification information and communication software from a source communication terminal. The communication control unit installs software. Address information of another communication control unit is acquired from an externally located apparatus. The another communication control unit can be connected to a destination communication terminal corresponding to the destination terminal identification information. The destination terminal identification information and software identification information uniquely identifying the installed software is transmitted to an address of the another communication control unit included in the address information. Software identification data is transmitted to the another communication control unit. Software corresponding to the software identification data is received and installed to control a network connection of the another communication control unit.
