• a storage unit that stores the association information of each of the plurality of facility devices as history information;
• a determination unit configured to determine a use state of a first register in a first facility device to be subjected to communication setting;
• and
• an extraction unit configured to extract, from the history information, second association information of a second facility device among the plurality of facility devices that was previously stored, the extraction unit being configured to extract the second association information such that a second register of the second facility device has a use state that is identical or similar to the use state of the first register,
• the use state being a state indicating whether or not data of the data point associated with the identification information is stored for each piece of identification information,
• the management apparatus being configured to reuse a communication setting of the second facility device with respect to the first facility device.
