In the operation state of the communication apparatus being the power-saving state, the communication apparatus receives a request signal from an external device, switches the operation state of the communication apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state in response to the request signal including the source IP address being a global IP address, and performs a predetermined process in response to the operation state of the communication apparatus being switched from the power-saving state to the normal state. The predetermined process is not performed in the operation state of the communication apparatus being the power-saving state. In response to the request signal including the source IP address not being a global IP address, the communication apparatus transmits a first response signal to the request signal to the external device without switching the operation state of the communication apparatus from the power-saving state to the normal state.

Communication apparatus, non-transitory computer-readable medium for communication apparatus, and method implementable by communication apparatus

A device includes a communication interface and a controller. The controller is configured to obtain connection information for connecting the device with a target server from an external device via the communication interface, connect the device with the target server using the obtained connection information, and in response to failing in an attempt to obtain the connection information, provide an error notification varying depending on at what timing the attempt to obtain the connection information has been made. The controller provides a first error notification when the attempt to obtain the connection information has been made at a first timing. The controller provides a second error notification different from the first error notification when the attempt to obtain the connection information has been made at a second timing different from the first timing.

Device and computer-readable storage medium for providing appropriate error notification

A communication device may include: a memory configured to store management information in which, for each of a plurality of OIDs of a MIB, the OID and a setting value are associated with each other; and a controller, wherein the controller may be configured to: receive a setting command which conforms to TCP; write the setting value included in the setting command to the management information in association with the OID included in the setting command; and send a response command which conforms to the TCP. In a case where the setting command including a first OID and a first setting value is received, the controller may be configured to: write the first setting value to the management information in association with the first OID after the response command has been sent, and send the response command before the first setting value is written to the management information.

Communication device, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for communication device, and method performed by communication device

A communication device may obtain email information inputted by a user, the email information including an email address and server information for using a mail server. The communication device may send a first email by using the server information included in the email information. The communication device may register a first password and the email information in a memory in a case where a registration request is received from a terminal device which has received the first email. The communication device may send a second email by using the server information in the memory in a case where a first change instruction is obtained after the first password and the email information have been registered. The communication device may change the first password in the memory to a second password in a case where a change request is received from the terminal device.

Communication device, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing computer-readable instructions for communication device, and method performed by communication device for changing a password

A communication device may receive from a server authentication information, and may register the authentication information in a memory. The communication device may send first location information in the communication device to the server. The communication device may register a first password in the memory in a case where the authentication information is received from the server and a registration request is received from the terminal device. The communication device may send the authentication information and second location information in the communication device to the server in a case where a first change instruction is obtained after the authentication information and the first password have been registered in the memory. The communication device may change the first password in the memory to a second password in a case where a change request is received from the terminal device.

A communication device may perform to; in a case where a first event occurs in the communication device before a time and date measured by a time and date measuring unit is changed to a current time and date and the first event is a predetermined event, send specific log information to a server; in a case where the first event is an event different from the predetermined event, calculate first time and date information at a first timing that is after the time and date measured by the time and date measuring unit has been changed to the current time and date; and in a case where the first time and date information is calculated, send first log information to the server, the first log information indicating a log of the first event which is the event different from the predetermined event.

Communication device and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-readable instructions for communication device

An image processing device is configured to provide a service relating to at least one of (1) the image data generated by the function of the image processing device and (2) image data representing the image to be formed, in response to a request from the image processing device. The image processing device may include a parameter designating unit, a service request unit, and a function implementation unit that is adapted to implement the function of the image processing device based on the service providing parameter designated by the parameter designating unit. The service providing device is provided with a service provision executing unit that is adapted to execute a process to provide the service to the image processing device after receiving the request from the service request unit provided to the image processing device.

Server for implementing image processing functions requested by a printing device

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory that stores, for each of a plurality of items that can be described in extensions included in a certificate signing request, item names and item contents with associating each of the item names with a respective one of the item contents; an acquiring unit that acquires specific information; a preparation unit that makes out a specific certificate signing request including specific extensions in which a specific item name and a specific item content are described, according to a condition for making out specific extensions which is determined in response to a user's instruction, by acquiring the specific item name and the specific item content from the memory and using the acquired specific information, specific item name and specific item content; and an output unit that outputs the specific certificate signing request to an outside.

Information processing apparatus

A service registration system includes a server that provides a service through a network, a peripheral device capable of communicating with the server and using the service, and a terminal device capable of communicating with the server and the peripheral device. When the terminal device receives the registration requesting information representing information related to registration necessary for using the service from a user, the terminal device transmits registration requesting information to the server. When the server receives the registration requesting information from the terminal device, the server transmits service information necessary for using the service. Further, the terminal device can transmit the service information to the peripheral device when it receives the service information from the server. Further, when the peripheral device receives the service information from the terminal device, the peripheral device stores the received service information and operates in a mode where the service is usable.
