Abstract

A control device which is connected to luminaires includes: a storage which stores associations between types of luminaires and identification (ID) number ranges for each of the types; an identifying unit which identifies a type of each of the luminaires; and an assigning unit which, by reference to the associations, assigns, to each of the luminaires, an ID number in an ID number range for the type identified by the identifying unit such that, among the luminaires, luminaires of a same type have consecutive ID numbers in the ID number range.
