Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first acquisition unit that acquires setting information for performing a setting of a network of the apparatus, and first environment information of the network from an external management apparatus, through a communication line; a setting unit that performs the setting of the network using the setting information acquired by the first acquisition unit; a second acquisition unit that acquires second environment information of the network after execution of the setting by the setting unit; and a notification unit that notifies that the network to which the apparatus is connected is incorrect, in a case where the first environment information and the second environment information do not match.

Claims (55)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a first acquisition unit that acquires setting information for performing a setting of a network of the apparatus, and first environment information of the network from an external management apparatus, through a communication line;

a setting unit that performs the setting of the network using the setting information acquired by the first acquisition unit;

a second acquisition unit that acquires second environment information of the network after execution of the setting by the setting unit; and

a notification unit that notifies that the network to which the apparatus is connected is incorrect, in a case where the first environment information and the second environment information do not match.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first environment information is environment information of a case where a correct network setting is performed.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the communication line is a wireless communication line in which communication with the management apparatus is performed without requiring a connection setting.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the communication line is a wireless communication line in which communication with the management apparatus is performed without requiring a connection setting.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the wireless communication line is a wireless communication line in a wide area wireless communication network in which data transmission and reception is performed at a lower communication speed than a communication speed in the network.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the wireless communication line is a wireless communication line in a wide area wireless communication network in which data transmission and reception is performed at a lower communication speed than a communication speed in the network.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a case where a plurality of network interfaces are provided for the information processing apparatus, the setting unit performs a setting of a network for each of the network interfaces,

wherein the second acquisition unit acquires second environment information of the network for each of the network interfaces, and

wherein in a case where first environment information which is to be acquired from one network interface is acquired from another network interface, and second environment information which is to be acquired from the other network interface is acquired from the one network interface, the notification unit notifies that there is a possibility of misconnection where wirings for the plurality of network interfaces are replaced.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein connection of the network is performed through a wired communication line.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first acquisition unit acquires setting information and first environment information corresponding to the input identification information, and

wherein in a case where replacement of the apparatus is performed, the identification information is identification information identical to identification information which is input for the apparatus before replacement.

17. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

first acquiring setting information for performing a setting of a network of an apparatus, and first environment information of the network from an external management apparatus, through a communication line;

performing the setting of the network using the setting information acquired in the first acquiring;

second acquiring second environment information of e network after execution of the setting in the setting; and

notifying that the network to which the apparatus is connected is incorrect, in a case where the first environment information and the second environment information do not match.

18. An information processing apparatus comprising a processor for:

first acquiring setting information for performing a setting of a network of the apparatus, and first environment information of the network from an external management apparatus, through a communication line;

performing the setting of the network using the setting information acquired in the first acquiring;

second acquiring second environment information of the network after execution of the setting in the setting; and

notifying that the network to which the apparatus is connected is incorrect, in a case where the first environment information and the second environment information do not match.
