Abstract
A receiving unit receives authentication information unique to a terminal device with identification information from the terminal device. An authenticating unit authenticates the terminal device based on the authentication information. An acquiring unit acquires setting information for relaying a communication between a plurality of terminal devices, which is associated with the identification information of an authenticated terminal device from the storing unit. A transmitting unit transmits the setting information to the relay apparatus via a number of communication paths determined in advance, which is smaller than the number of terminal devices.
