This meter reader (31-1) belongs to at least one of a plurality of logically different networks. Said meter reader (31-1) receives a scan-request signal transmitted by a communication apparatus attempting to join one of said networks. If the meter reader (31-1) belongs to the network that the communication apparatus is attempting to join, the meter reader (31-1) transmits a beacon signal.
