First, the terminal connection unit 3c in the wireless server B3-2 receives the IP address issuance request transmitted by the terminal device 5 via the base station radio 4-2 (step S4).
1). At this time, the terminal device 5 transmits an IP address issuance request by broadcasting (transmitting the same packet simultaneously to devices connected to the network). In response, the wireless server B3
-2 determines whether this packet is an IP address issuance request from the terminal device 5, and if the packet is an IP address issuance request, accepts this request.

Further, the packet of the IP address issuance request includes the identification ID of the terminal device 5 that has transmitted the request. This identification ID is a MAC address of the terminal device 5. This MAC address is an identification number given to the hardware of the terminal device 5.

Next, if the received packet is an IP address issuance request from the terminal device 5, the terminal connection unit 3c
Passes the received packet to the relay agent unit 3b.

Subsequently, the relay agent unit 3b receives the IP address issuance request from the terminal device 5, and extracts the identification ID of the terminal device 5 from the content. Then, the relay agent unit 3d refers to the contents of the home server definition unit 3d to determine the wireless server corresponding to the identification ID (Step S42).

The home server definition section 3d includes an identification ID of each terminal device 5 and a terminal device 5 having this identification ID.
Is provided for associating the IP address of the home wireless server. By referring to this table, the relay agent unit 3b determines the IP address of the home wireless server of the terminal device 5 having the received identification ID.

Next, the wireless server C3-3, which has received the IP address issue request packet,
-3 is transmitted. Subsequently, in response to this request, the DHCP server 6-3 issues an IP address that can be used at the present time, and
-3. In response, the wireless server C3
-3 is the I-address issued by the DHCP server 6-3 to the wireless server B3-2 that has transmitted the packet of the IP address issue request.
The packet including the P address is transmitted.

Next, the network connection unit 3a receives the packet transmitted by the wireless server C3-3 (step S44). At this time, the network connection unit 3a determines whether the received packet is a return packet of the IP address issuance request, and if the received packet is a return packet, passes the packet to the relay agent unit 3b.

Next, the relay agent unit 3b, which has received the reply packet from the network connection unit 3a, adds the identification ID of the terminal device 5 to this reply packet and passes it to the terminal connection unit 3c.

Next, the terminal connection unit 3c distributes the reply packet to the terminal device 5 by broadcasting (step S45). Subsequently, the terminal device 5 determines whether or not the broadcast packet includes the identification ID of the terminal device 5 and, if so, extracts the IP address included in the packet.

As described above, in response to the IP address issuance request from the terminal device 5, even if the wireless server to be connected at this time is not the home wireless server, the IP address is sent from the home wireless server via this wireless server. Since it is issued, it is possible to connect to another wireless server without changing the setting of the IP address of the terminal device 5.

Further, a packet that is normally broadcast cannot be transmitted to a server or the like connected to another network beyond the network to which the terminal device that transmitted the packet is connected.
However, since a relay agent unit for receiving a broadcast packet and transmitting and receiving an IP address issue request and a reply packet on behalf of the terminal device is provided,
It is possible to transmit an IP address issuance request to a DHCP server connected to another network.

Next, the registration authentication operation will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the terminal device 5 is connected to the wireless server B3.
The registration request (FIG. 9A) and the identification number of the terminal device 5 are transmitted to the terminal device 2 in FIG.

Next, the wireless server B3-2 searches whether or not the authentication data of the terminal device 5 which has issued the request exists in the database 7-2 connected to the wireless server B3-2. As a result, if there is no authentication data in the database 7-2, the terminal device 5
It is determined that the terminal device 3 is not the terminal device 5 which is the home server, and the home server of the terminal device 5 is determined from the received identification number, and an authentication request is sent to the home server (the wireless server C3-3 in this example). Send (Fig. 9
(B)).

At this time, an authentication request is made by adding the random value generated by the wireless server B3-2 and the identification number of the terminal device 5 making the registration request. Further, this random value is also transmitted to the terminal device 5 (FIG. 9C).

Next, the wireless server C3 as a home server
-3 receives the authentication request and calculates the authentication process using the simultaneously received random value and identification number.

Next, the wireless server C3-3 returns this authentication processing result to the wireless server B3-2 (FIG. 9).
(D)).

On the other hand, the terminal device 5 is connected to the wireless server B3-2.
The calculation of the authentication process is performed using the random value received from the server, and the result is returned to the wireless server B3-2 (FIG. 9).
(E)).

Next, the wireless server B3-2 checks the authentication processing results received from the wireless server C3-3 and the terminal device 5 (FIG. 9 (f)). Subsequently, if the result of the verification is identical, the registration request is approved (FIG. 9).
(G)). If the collation results do not match, the registration request is denied as an invalid registration request.

When the authentication data is stored in the database 7-2, since the wireless server is the home server, the authentication operation includes a “registration request” ((a) shown in FIG. 9),
“Authentication request” ((c) shown in FIG. 9), “authentication response” ((e) shown in FIG. 9), “registration acceptance” ((g) shown in FIG. 9)
