Abstract
After a device having a particular function is detected from among devices connected to a network and if a transmission medium to the detected device is not a transmission medium compatible with a predetermined transmission system, an alarm message is displayed. A user can therefore be notified of that the detected device is not connected through a transmission medium suitable for data communications.
