• a function implementation controlling unit that is configured so as to be capable of controlling implementation of a function instructed by a file received via IP telephone communications when the communicating unit receives the file;
• and a configuration data storing unit that stores configuration data that is used by the function implementation controlling unit to implement the function,
• the method comprising:
• acquiring configuration data from a configuration data storing unit when the communicating unit receives a read file that is transmitted from the external IP telephone terminal;
• generating a response file including the configuration data and outputting the response file;
• controlling the communicating unit to transmit the response file to the external IP telephone terminal that has transmitted the read file;
• and
• updating, when the communicating unit receives a write file, the configuration data stored in the configuration data storing unit based on the write file that is transmitted from the external IP telephone terminal that has received the response file.
