Abstract
Provided is an initiator apparatus that, when issuing access requests for remote access via wireless communication to a storage section that processes only one access request at a time, can easily detect timeouts with one timer irrespective of the number of access requests issued via wireless communication. In this apparatus, an access-request processor () sends one or more access requests to a target apparatus () provided with a storage section that processes only one access request at a time and receives access acknowledgments for the access requests from the target apparatus (). Until all the access requests are completed, a timeout detector () resets the timer operation and starts it again each time an access request is sent or an access acknowledgment is received, and detects a timeout when the timer operation exceeds a timeout period.
