Abstract:
1. A management device comprising: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire identification information used to identify a wireless-communication apparatus from a portable storage medium; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire authentication information from the portable storage medium; a detecting unit configured to detect a request signal to acquire wireless parameters; a search unit configured to search for the wireless-communication apparatus based on the acquired identification information; a first processing unit to execute a wireless parameters setting processing for setting wireless parameters on a wireless-communication apparatus transmitting the request signal, based on the acquired authentication information and authentication information included in the detected request signal; and a second processing unit to execute an access parameters setting processing for setting access parameters used to access a second network from a first network, wherein the management device, in case that the first acquisition unit does not acquire the identification information, executes the wireless parameters setting processing and the access parameters setting processing, wherein the management device, in case that the first acquisition unit acquires the identification information and the search unit detects the wireless-communication apparatus corresponding to the acquired identification information, executes the access parameters setting processing without executing the wireless parameters setting processing.
