Communication device setting apparatus, communication device setting method, and recording medium
First Claim
1. A communication device setting apparatus arranged to register setup information in a communication device that is connected to the communication device setting apparatus via a communication network, comprising:
- a hardware processor configured to executea device setting unit to recognize an access from the communication device upon power up of the communication device, acquire 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 perform a setting process to set the acquired setup information in the communication device;
a setting management unit to detect an end of the setting process performed by the device setting unit, change the list information based on the setup information having been set in the communication device after the end of the setting process, and manage the communication device according to the changed list information; and
a key information generating unit to acquire key information via a corresponding key file name contained in the list information, and encrypt the acquired key information, wherein the setup information contains the encrypted key information from the key information generating unit,wherein, after the device setting unit performs the setting process to set the acquired setup information in the communication device, the setting management unit moves the encrypted key information from a writing encryption key folder to a written encryption key storage folder without changing the key file name.

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.

6. A communication device setting method for use in a communication device setting apparatus to register setup information in a communication device that is connected to the communication device setting apparatus via a communication network, the communication device setting apparatus including a device setting unit and a setting management unit, the communication device setting method comprising:
-
recognizing, by the device setting unit, an access from the communication device upon power up of the communication device; acquiring, by the device setting unit, 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; performing, by the device setting unit, a setting process to set the acquired setup information in the communication device; detecting, by the setting management unit, an end of the setting process performed by the device setting unit; changing, by the setting management unit, the list information based on the setup information having been set in the communication device after the end of the setting process; managing, by the setting management unit, the communication device according to the changed list information; acquiring, by a key information generating unit of the communication device setting apparatus, key information via a corresponding key file name contained in the list information; and encrypting, by the key information generating unit, the acquired key information, wherein the setup information contains the encrypted key information, wherein, after the device setting unit performs the setting process to set the acquired setup information in the communication device, the setting management unit moves the encrypted key information from a writing encryption key folder to a written encryption key storage folder without changing the key file name. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 11)
