<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimally realize a remote operation using a protocol configured to be able to instruct a predetermined operation to an electronic device having a MAC address and having received a communication packet based on the MAC address information included in the body of the communication packet in a network using a communication device including a wireless LAN interface and a wired LAN interface having multiple ports. <P>SOLUTION: A communication device comprises a wireless LAN interface capable of communicating, as a wireless slave station, with other wireless devices, and a wired LAN interface having multiple ports. The communication device relays communication between electronic devices connected to the respective multiple ports and other wireless devices. The communication device, if an electronic device is connected to one particular port predefined among the multiple ports, acquires a MAC address of the electronic device, and communicates with another wireless device using the MAC address as its own MAC address. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
