Abstract
A relay apparatus enables automatic execution of the reboot process after a controller has detected a discontinuance of data. Accordingly, data in a communication is reliably prevented from destruction. Moreover, the reboot process can be achieved with simple operations. In addition, an operator is allowed to finish operations for changing the configuration of the relay apparatus, for example, before the data communications have actually been discontinued. The operator can finish the operation within the business hours. A burden of the operator can be lightened.
