An initial address allocating unit 11 allocates a predetermined address to each of the nodes 21 connected to respective first stage switches 22. A connecting state acquiring unit 12 acquires a connecting state from each of the first stage switches 22, each of second stage switches 23 and each of third stage switches 24. An erroneous connection detecting unit 13 compares the connecting state acquired by the connecting state acquiring unit 12 with a prestored predetermined connecting state, thereby detecting an erroneous connection. An address changing unit 14 changes an address of the node 21 allocated by the initial address allocating unit 11 to satisfy a first predetermined condition based on the connecting state, when the erroneous connection is detected by the erroneous connection detecting unit 13. |
