Communication control system and air-conditioning apparatus

A communication control system comprising:

• an air-conditioning apparatus having a wireless device;
• and
• a remote control device that is capable of operating the air-conditioning apparatus,
• wherein the communication control system controls a connection between the air-conditioning apparatus and a communication network,
• the remote control device is capable of accepting a first pairing request operation that causes the wireless device to transmit pairing request data and a second pairing request operation that causes the air-conditioning apparatus to request a start of a pairing of the air-conditioning apparatus and a terminal device,
• upon receiving, from the remote control device, a signal indicating that the remote control device has accepted the first pairing request operation, the air-conditioning apparatus causes the wireless device to transmit the pairing request data, completes the pairing upon receiving, from a wireless access point, authentication data corresponding to the pairing request data thus transmitted, and connects the wireless device to the wireless access point, and
• upon receiving, from the remote control device without via a communication network, a signal indicating that the remote control device has accepted the second pairing request operation in a state where the wireless device is connected to the wireless access point, the air-conditioning apparatus is paired with a terminal device that is capable of operating the air-conditioning apparatus via a communication network.
