Security setting system

A security setting method for an access point that uses wireless communication to perform a security setting process for wirelessly communicating with a wireless LAN terminal, the method comprising:

• an access point side start instruction reception step for receiving a start instruction for the security setting process;
• a start instruction data reception step, which uses wireless communication to receive start instruction data that indicates the start of the security setting process;
• and
• an access point side security setting step in which the security setting process is not performed if the start instruction data is received before the start instruction is received in the access point side start instruction reception step, and in which the security setting process is performed if the start instruction data is not received before the start instruction is received in the access point side start instruction reception step.

A computer readable medium encoded with a computer executable instructions, the instructions comprising:

• a control program for an access point that uses wireless communication to perform a security setting process for wirelessly communicating with a wireless LAN terminal, wherein the access point includes an access point side wireless communication unit for wirelessly communicating with the wireless LAN terminal,
• the control program causing a computer to execute,
• an access point side start instruction reception function for receiving a start instruction for the security setting process;
• a start instruction data reception function for receiving start instruction data that indicates the start of the security setting process through the access point side wireless communication unit;
• and
• an access point side security setting function, which does not perform the security setting process if the start instruction data is received before the start instruction is received by the access point side start instruction reception function, and which performs the security setting process if the start instruction data is not received before the start instruction is received by the access point side start instruction reception function.
