Then, when the decryption is complete, it transmits a "Winfo Finish” (S1113) to the master 301 (S1307).
  • Embodiment 3 makes it possible to set wireless communication parameters for all devices together even if there are devices that do not support the method of setting wireless communication parameters explained in Embodiments 1 and 2.
  • the master can perform wireless parameter setting with a plurality of slaves in parallel. As a result, the time it takes to complete wireless parameters setting for all the slaves can be shortened.
  • the present invention can be applied to a system composed of a plurality of devices (e.g. a host computer, interface devices, readers, printers, etc.) and to a system made up of a single device (e.g. a copy machine, a fax, etc. ) .
  • recordable media used to store the program code of the software implementing the functionality of the embodiments described above are provided to a system or device and the computer of the system or device (CPU or MPU) reads and executes the program code stored on the recordable media. Needless to say, this accomplishes the object of the present invention as well.
  • the program code read from the recordable media implements the functionality of the above-described embodiments and therefore the recordable media, on which the program code is stored, form part of the present invention.
  • the recordable media used to supply the program code may include, for example, flexible disks, hard disks, optical disks, magneto-optical disks, CD- ROMs, CD-Rs, magnetic tape, nonvolatile memory cards, ROM, etc.
  • the implementation of the functionality of the above- described embodiments is based not only on the execution of the program code read by a computer and may also include. the following cases. Namely, the functionality of the above-described embodiments is implemented if, an OS (operating system) etc. running ⁇ on a computer partially or entirely carries out actual processing based on the instructions of the program code.
  • the invention also includes the following case.
  • the program code read from the recordable media is written to memory provided in expansion boards inserted in the computer or expansion units connected to the computer. Thereafter, a CPU, etc. provided in the expansion boards or expansion units partially or entirely executes actual processing based on the instructions of the program code, and the functionality of the above- described embodiments is implemented based on such processing.
  • the present invention can carry out communication parameter exchange between a plurality of devices at high speed and can shorten the time required for constructing a network.
