Abstract
A communication device setting apparatus is arranged to register setup information in a communication device connected to the communication device setting apparatus via a communication network. In the communication device setting apparatus, a device setting unit recognizes an access from the communication device upon power up of the communication device, acquires setup information, which is specific to the communication device and contains a MAC address of the communication device, from list information pre-recorded in the communication device setting apparatus, and performs a setting process to set the acquired setup information in the communication device. A setting management unit detects an end of the setting process performed by the device setting unit, changes the list information based on the setup information having been set in the communication device after the end of the setting process, and manages the communication device according to the changed list information.
