A method of starting a communication apparatus, comprising:

• at a communication unit, receiving an acquisition request for a format of a start instruction message;
• at a generator, generating a format based on an internal state;
• at the communication unit, notifying the format;
• at the communication unit, receiving a start instruction message corresponding to the format;
• and
• at a controller, performing start processing and initialization processing for a component instructed by the received start instruction message among a plurality of components.

A computer-readable storage medium storing a program of starting a communication apparatus which causes a computer to execute the steps of:

• at a communication unit, receiving an acquisition request for a format of a start instruction message;
• at a generator, generating a format based on an internal state;
• at the communication unit, notifying the format;
• at the communication unit, receiving a start instruction message corresponding to the format;
• and
• at a controller, performing start processing and initialization processing for a component instructed by the received start instruction message among a plurality of components.
