In a system in which an information processing apparatus and a peripheral are connected to each other. Initially, the information processing apparatus transmits, to the peripheral, a request to use a service provided by the peripheral. The peripheral determines whether to grant use permission to the received request, and notifies the information processing apparatus which has transmitted the request of the determination result. The peripheral stores information associated with the information processing apparatus to which use permission is granted in response to the request. The information processing apparatus then receives, from the peripheral, a response to the request.

A telephone exchange apparatus for plural extension telephone units is capable of interchanging, in response to a predetermined operation from one of the extension telephone units, the extension numbers of two extension telephone units and the associated information stored in advance for these extension telephone units, such as individual one-touch dialling data, abbreviated dialling data and re-dialling data. In response to the predetermined operation, the exchange apparatus interchanges the data areas in a memory respectively corresponding to the physical addresses of the extension telephone units.

A communication apparatus generates plural data representing a modulated analog wave by sequentially reading plural data representing an analog wave from a memory storing plural data, and controlling a sequence of such plural data to be read in accordance with information to be transmitted. Such a configuration is also provided in a switchboard to transmit internal information of the switchboard.
