<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration for collecting information of monitored devices when failing to establish a communication function of a third layer. <P>SOLUTION: When detecting a failure in establishing a communication function of a third layer after establishing a communication function of a second layer, the monitoring device sets control information for requesting information collection in a predetermined area of a first signal used on the communication function of the second layer and sends it out. A monitored device receiving this information collects information about its own state and sets the information collected in the information collection step in a predetermined area of a second signal used on the communication function of the second layer for response thereto. The monitoring device reads out the information set in the predetermined area of the second signal and acquires the information on the state of the monitored device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
