A control system includes a plurality of control apparatuses each capable of controlling a first communication terminal connected to the control apparatus. Each control apparatus transmits search information including terminal identification information for identifying a second communication terminal to other control apparatuses of the plurality of control apparatuses, searches for one of the other control apparatuses that is connected to the second communication terminal based on responses that are transmitted from the other control apparatuses in response to the search information, and transmits state information indicating a state of the first communication terminal connected to the control apparatus to the searched control apparatus connected to the second communication terminal.
