Abstract
An access point diagnosis unit 201 controls a radio access terminal portion 213 included in the access point 100, to execute a test of connection with the access point 100. A switch within the access point selectively connects the radio access terminal portion 213, with any of an antenna and radio reception parts of the own access point 100. In accordance with a failing part, the failure information which contains the failing part and/or a failure content is transmitted from the radio access terminal portion 213 to the radio access terminal 108 (1) along a first path tracing the radio reception part connected by the switch, etc. of the access point 100, or (2) along a second path tracing the antenna connected by the switch and the other access point 101.
