PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid increase in burden of management work by a network administrator, and deterioration in network security even in an environment where a mediation device performs communication with each electronic apparatus in different communication modes.SOLUTION: A CPU 44 of a communication adapter (a mediation device) 21 presets execution sequence of communication in each of a plurality of communication modes including a security communication mode (a transport mode, and a tunnel mode as an IPsec communication mode) for use in apparatus search. Communication in each communication mode with each electronic apparatus registered as an apparatus to be managed is executed sequentially, and the apparatus search for acquiring apparatus information from each electronic apparatus in an available communication mode is performed. The apparatus information acquired by the apparatus search is associated with a communication mode when acquiring the apparatus information, and the apparatus information and the communication mode in association with each other are stored in a RAM 46 as communication related information. |
