Abstract
An apparatus connected to a network executes search processing of searching for a device connected to the network, displays a selection screen including identification information corresponding to the device connected to the network based on a search result of the search processing, and designates a device based on operation of a user using the selection screen. In response to designation of the device, based on setting information for communication stored in the apparatus and information of the designated device obtained by the search processing, the apparatus displays a screen indicating whether it is possible to communicate with the designated device using the setting information.
Claims17
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer, included in an apparatus connected to a network, to:
- execute search processing of searching for a device connected to the network;
- display, on a display unit, a selection screen including identification information corresponding to the device connected to the network based on a search result of the search processing;
- designate a device based on operation of a user using the selection screen;
- compare an IP address included in setting information of the designated device stored in the apparatus with an IP address of the designated device obtained by the search processing, if a setting method of the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device stored in the apparatus is a fixed setting method;
- display, on the display unit, in a case where it is determined that the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device stored in the apparatus matches the IP address of the designated device obtained by the search processing, a screen including first information that indicates that it is possible to communicate with the designated device;
- display, on the display unit, in a case where it is determined that the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device stored in the apparatus does not match the IP address of the designated device obtained by the search processing, a screen including second information that indicates that an error occurs in communication with the designated device;
- and
- compare a value used to automatically set the IP address and obtained from the setting information of the designated device with the value in information obtained from the designated device, if the setting method of the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device is an automatic setting method,
- wherein if a type of port included in the setting information of the designated device is a WSD (WebService on Devices), the value is a MAC address, and
- wherein if the type of port included in the setting information of the designated device is not a WSD (Web Service on Devices), the value is a host name.

- displaying, on the display unit, in a case where it is determined that the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device stored in the apparatus does not match the IP address of the designated device obtained by the search processing, a screen including second information that indicates that an error occurs in communication with the designated device;
- and
- comparing a value used to automatically set the IP address and obtained from the setting information of the designated device with the value in information obtained from the designated device, if the setting method of the IP address included in the setting information of the designated device is an automatic setting method,
- wherein if a type of port included in the setting information of the designated device is a WSD (WebService on Devices), the value is a MAC address, and
- if the type of port included in the setting information of the designated device is not a WSD (Web Service on Devices), the value is a host name.
