PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication device which automatically collects apparatus configuration and transmits it to a central control unit, and an apparatus remote control system which centrally controls apparatuses on the basis of information of the apparatus configuration and control information.SOLUTION: In an apparatus remote control system, communication devices aTS to nTS of customer sites KSa to KSn search for apparatuses connected to aISS1 to nISSm of Ethernet (R) segments forming aISN to nISN of Ethernet (R) in the customer sites KSa to KSn, and transmit search results as information of segment apparatus configuration to a control server SV of a center system CS. The control server SV records the sent information of segment apparatus configuration as information of segment apparatus configuration of aISS1 to nISSm of the Ethernet (R) segments in the customer sites KSa to KSn, in a database for control DB, to output the information of segment apparatus configuration. |
