Management device for causing specific device to update programs and computer readable media

摘要

A management device may be connected with a specific device via a network, and cause the specific device to update a plurality of programs. The management device may transmit a first program of the plurality of programs by using an IP address as a transmission destination. The management device may confirm whether the IP address of the specific device has changed since transmitting the first program by utilizing identification information for identifying the specific device. The management device may transmit a second program of the plurality of programs to the specific device by using the IP address when confirming that the IP address has not changed, or by using a changed IP address when confirming that the IP address has changed.

1. A management device comprising:
a processor; a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps of:
transmitting a first program corresponding to a first one of a plurality of programs to a specific device in a network using an IP address of the specific device, as a transmission destination;determining whether a standby period has elapsed, the standby period being determined based on a period needed for the specific device to complete update of the first program;in response to determining that the standby period has elapsed, confirming whether the IP address of the specific device has changed since transmitting the first program, by utilizing first identification information for identifying the specific device; andtransmitting a second program corresponding to a second one of the plurality of programs to the specific device by using one of:
the IP address as the transmission destination when the step of confirming confirms that the IP address has not changed, anda changed IP address as the transmission destination when the step of confirming confirms that the IP address has changed,wherein the second program is different from the first program.
