Abstract
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing network devices, which allow the user to intuitively recognize errors that have occurred in network devices. When an error monitoring module () detects any error that has occurred in a network device, a corresponding URL address acquisition module () acquires a URL address corresponding to an error category. An electrical generation component generates electrical message data for error information, which contains the acquired URL address, and sends it to an electrical sending module (). Since the user can access error information provided by an HTTP server module () by clicking the URL address described on the received electrical message once, he or she can intuitively recognize the error contents by simple operations.
