Consequently, the control associated with the start of communication using the selected relay device 30 can be executed by any of the management systems 50 indicated by the domain information. That is, a load based on the control of the start of communication can be dispersed into a plurality of management sys­ tems 50, and thus there is an effect of reducing a load the to management systems 50.
