First Claim
Patent Images
1. A management system comprising:
- a first device, connected to a network and assigned network information that allows said first device to communicate over the network;
a management device, connected to the network, which manages said first device based on said network information, and stores the network information in an information recordable medium; and
a drive unit, configured to read the information recordable medium, wherein said first device is made accessible to a user when the network information for said first device read from said information recordable medium by said drive unit corresponds to said network information assigned to said first device.

Abstract
There is provided a management system including a managed device connected to a network, and assigned network information that allows the managed device to communicate over the network, and a management device. The management device is connected to the network, and manages the managed device based on the network information and stores the network information in an information recordable medium. The management device has a drive unit which reads data from the information recordable medium, wherein the managed device is made accessible when the data read from the information recordable medium corresponds to the network information assigned to the managed device.

14. A method of managing access to a network through a managed device, wherein the managed device is connected to the network and assigned network information which allows the managed device to communicate over the network, said method comprising:
-
reading data from an information recordable medium;
storing the network information in a storage part;
determining whether data read from the information recordable medium corresponds to the network information stored in the storage part; and
making the managed device accessible in the network when said data read from the information recordable medium is determined to correspond to the network information stored in the storage part. - View Dependent Claims (15)

20. A computer readable medium having a program for executing a method of making accessible a managed device that is connected to a network and assigned network information that allows said managed device to communicate over the network, the network information being stored in an information recordable medium and a storage part, said method comprising:
-
determining whether data read from the information recordable medium corresponds to the network information that has been stored in a storage part; and
making the managed device accessible in the network when said determining determines that the data read from the information recordable medium corresponds to the network information stored in the storage part. - View Dependent Claims (21)
