Parameter setting system, device and parameter setting program

A parameter setting system, comprising a plurality of devices connected to a network,

• the parameter setting system being configured such that a function parameter necessary to perform a communication function available through the network is capable of being set by a setting device among the plurality of devices in a setting target device among the plurality of devices except the setting device,
• wherein the setting device includes:
• a protocol inquiry mechanism that inquires the setting target device about a communication protocol acceptable to the setting target device;
• and
• a setting command mechanism that commands the setting target device to set the function parameter necessary to perform a communication function according to a communication protocol notified in response to an inquiry by the protocol inquiry mechanism,
• and wherein the setting target device includes:
• a protocol response mechanism that notifies the protocol inquiry mechanism of information with respect to the communication protocol acceptable to the setting target device in response to the inquiry received from the protocol inquiry mechanism;
• and
• a commanded setting execution mechanism that sets the function parameter commanded to be set by the setting command mechanism,
