A network device which is connected to a network and provides an
information processor on the network with a service, comprising: a
network communication unit for communications over the network; a storage
medium interface unit for connection with a storage medium into which
data can be written; a parameter information storage unit for storing
parameter information containing an address for specifying a logical
position on the network; a parameter information file creation unit for
creating a parameter information file which reflects the parameter
information stored by the parameter information storage unit; an
installer program storage unit for storing an installer program which
executes setup to allow the information processor to use the service; and
a storage medium write unit for writing the installer program stored in
the installer program storage unit and the parameter information file
created by the parameter information file creation unit into a storage
medium connected to the storage medium interface unit; wherein: the
installer program reads a network address contained in the parameter
information file from the storage medium and executes the setup according
to the read network address when the storage medium having the installer
program and the parameter information file written therein is connected
to the information processor.
