Network device and network system

摘要

A network device and a network system are disclosed. The network device (100) includes a storage (120), a transmitter (122a), a receiver (122a) and a controller (122b). The storage has stored therein the information (124) of the file store region linked to the function executed by the device. The transmitter sends the information of the file store region to a terminal (150) based on a file sharing protocol. The receiver receives a configuration file and a store command from the terminal (150) based on the file sharing protocol. The configuration file contains the description of the operating conditions of the function and can be directly rewritten by the user. Also, the store command designates a file store region and requests the device (100) to store the configuration file in the designated file store region. The controller (122b), in response to the reception of the store command, executes the function linked to the file store region under the operating conditions described in the configuration file. The user can describe the desired operating conditions by rewriting the configuration file in text form directly as desired. The user can easily cause the device to operate under the desired operating conditions. This device has a high operability for the user of the terminal controlling the device.
