Abstract
Each client unit 2 diagnoses its operation environment (hardware, software, firmware and so on) at the start time of itself, and when an abnormality or any change (deletion, modification or creation) has occurred and it is repairable, the client unit 2 itself repairs itself or maintenance process is conducted by reinstallation from the server unit 1. When it is unrepairable, the client unit 2 releases itself from the LAN line 100. In this way, by having the client unit 2 be provided with self maintenance capability to allow each client unit 2 to conduct the self maintenance of itself such a client/server system is realized by which loads of the server unit 1 and the LAN line 100 are reduced as well as the probability of system down occurrence is lowered, further the capability of the entire system is improved and a maintenance engineer or a user is not required much labor.
