Abstract
A network device management system includes a computer that is connected to a network and at least one network device that is connected to the network and is capable of communicating with the computer via the network. Each network device includes a network device controller that provides the computer with network device information about settings and conditions of each network device of the at least one network device, via the network. The network device information includes connection type information that indicates whether each network device is a wired connection type or a wireless connection type. The computer includes a computer controller that obtains the network device information from each network device via the network and outputs a part or all of contents of the network device information including at least the connection type information, based on the obtained network device information.
