Method of setting wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A wireless communication apparatus that includes an access point communicating with a communication terminal via wireless communication, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a configuration information storage circuit that stores configuration information set commonly with the communication terminal and the wireless communication apparatus to establish the wireless communication;
a tentative connection circuit that makes temporary wireless communication with a second communication terminal, which is provided as a communication object, under a preset condition regardless of settings of configuration information in the second communication terminal, so as to establish a tentative connection with the second communication terminal; and
a communication circuit that sends instruction information to the second communication terminal via the established tentative connection to change the settings of the configuration information in the second communication terminal based on the instruction information.

Abstract
A relay station 200 constructs an infrastructure wireless network 200L. A printing device 100 requests new participation in the wireless network 200L. When preset conditions are satisfied, for example, when the user has pressed a push button 201 provided on the relay station 200, the relay station 200 establishes temporary wireless communication with the printing device 100 and changes an SSID of the printing device 100 to an SSID of the relay station 200. In this manner, this arrangement readily changes the configuration information of the printing device 100.

10. A wireless communication apparatus that includes an access point communicating with a communication terminal via wireless communication, the wireless communication apparatus comprising:
-
a configuration information storage circuit that stores configuration information; a tentative connection circuit that makes temporary wireless communication with the communication terminal under a predetermined condition, so as to establish a tentative connection with the communication terminal; a setting circuit that sends the configuration information stored in the configuration information storage circuit to the communication terminal via the established tentative connection to set the configuration information to the communication terminal; and a notification circuit that notifies a user that the configuration information is transmitted. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
