Abstract
A communication device may execute a first process according to a Device Provisioning Protocol (DPP) scheme, execute a second process according to a first wireless connection scheme different from the DPP scheme; and shift a state of the communication device. The first process may include, under a situation where the state of the communication is a first state, receiving an authentication request from a first external device, sending an authentication response to the first external device, and establishing a first wireless connection with a second external device. A communication device may be configured to shift the state of the communication device from the first state to a second state after the authentication response has been sent to the first external device and before the first wireless connection is established with the second external device.
