An SSID and an encryption key of a wireless LAN apparatus of computer
peripheral equipment are calculated based on a manufacturer's serial
number of the computer peripheral equipment to be stored in the wireless
LAN apparatus of the computer peripheral equipment. On the other hand,
for an SSID and an encryption key of a computer wirelessly connected to
the computer peripheral equipment, when driver software of the computer
peripheral equipment is installed, a user inputs the manufacturer's
serial number of the computer peripheral equipment, and the SSID and the
encryption key of a wireless LAN apparatus are calculated on the computer
to be stored in the wireless LAN apparatus of the computer. Thus, the
same SSID and encryption key as those of the computer peripheral
equipment can be set in the computer.
