摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wireless network system in which connection setting can be performed efficiently while reducing labor and arrangement of an apparatus can be altered flexibly, and to provide its wireless setting information setting method. SOLUTION: Every time when each slave unit transmits an automatic setting request packet including its own apparatus address information to a master unit through a wired interface and the master unit receives the automatic setting request packet from the slave unit, the apparatus address information included in the automatic setting request packet is registered in the set information storage section in the master unit, and the apparatus address information of each slave unit registered in the set information storage section in the master unit and common set information is broadcast to each slave unit through a wired interface. When each slave unit receives the apparatus address information of each slave unit and common set information from the master unit through a wired interface, the apparatus address information of each slave unit and common set information thus received is registered in the set information storage section in the slave unit.
