Estimating the term…
MTID of a terminal apparatus is preliminarily registered into a database of an ISP. In step S2, when a power source of the terminal apparatus is turned on first, (MTID=B) is transmitted from the terminal apparatus to a router. A transmission signal is received by the router and (HGWID=A, MTID=B) is transmitted from the router to the ISP. If (HGWID=A, MTID=B) has been registered in the database, the ISP transmits a permission message in step S5. In step S6, an IP address for a new terminal apparatus is allocated and the new terminal apparatus can participate in a homenetwork. If (HGWID=A, MTID=B) is not registered, a refusal message is sent to the router.
A network system, comprising:
A terminal apparatus which is connected to a network system through a router, the terminal apparatus being associated with the router, wherein a correspondence relation comprising at least an identifier of the router and an identifier of the terminal apparatus has been registered in a database of a server, the server being coupled to and separate from the router, wherein:
A communicating method in a network system in which a server and a router are connected and separated from each other, a first and second terminal apparatuses are connected to the router, and the server has a database in which a correspondence relation comprising an identifier of the router and an identifier of the first terminal apparatus has been registered, the method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, perform a method in a network system including a server, a router connected to and separate from the server, a first and second terminal apparatuses connected to the router, and a database in the server in which a correspondence relation comprising an identifier of the router and an identifier of the first terminal apparatus has been registered, the method comprising:
