2. A system for monitoring a group of devices on a network, the system comprising:
-
a fault testing unit which tests a fault of a belonging device and outputs a test result; and
a monitoring administration unit which instructs fault testing to the fault testing unit and transmits the test result input from the fault testing unit to a master device within the group if operating in a slave mode. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of monitoring a group of devices on a network, the method comprising:
-
receiving a fault test request from a master device within the group;
testing fault of a belonging device to the group if the request is received; and
transmitting the test result to the master device. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method of monitoring a group of devices on a network, the method comprising:
-
requesting a fault test to each of the devices within the group;
receiving the test result from each of the devices in response to the request;
analyzing the received test result is analyzed;
if it is determined that a device of which fault occurs exists based on the analyzing, preparing a fault breakdown; and
outputting the fault breakdown. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method of monitoring a group of devices on a network, the method comprising:
-
determining a device having a highest master rank among the devices within the group as a master device of the group;
determining another device of the devices as a slave, device;
requesting a fault test in the slave device using the master device;
testing a fault of a device if the fault test request is received;
transmitting a test result to the master device;
determining whether a device at which fault occurs exists based on a test result transmitted from the slave device;
if it is determined that the device at which the fault occurs exists, preparing a fault breakdown; and
outputting the fault breakdown. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
