Abstract: A network connection apparatus of the invention has a list that includes at least device identification information used to identify a device as a monitor object device to be monitored by a monitor server. When the network connection apparatus is attached to the device, the network connection apparatus acquires the device's identification information from the device and determines whether the device is the monitor object device to be monitored by the monitor server, based on the acquired identification information and the list. In response to a negative result of the determination showing that the device is not the monitor object device, the network connection apparatus prevents transmission of the monitor information stored in the device to the monitor server via the network.

Abstract: A management server has printer monitoring information that associates the time at which a network board begins printer monitoring and the printer being monitored. The management server receives from the network board the printer's serial number, the network board's MAC address and the time at which the network board was replaced, and registers these items of information in the printer monitoring information. The network board monitors the printer and collects log information. For each log file uploaded from the network board, the management server specifies and associates which printer the log file belongs to based on the time at which the log file was collected and printer monitoring information and stores the log file in the log database while maintaining such association.

Abstract: The serial number of a first printer in which a network board is installed before power supply of the first printer is turned is stored in the network board. The network board determines whether or not the current serial number of the first printer in which the network board is currently installed and the serial number of a second printer in which the network board is installed before the power supply of the first printer is turned ON are identical. If the two serial numbers are determined to be not identical, the network board transmits the model name of the first printer to a management server. When the management server receives the model name of the first printer, the management server transmits the configuration file associates with the model name of the first printer to the network board.

Abstract: A surface acoustic wave device includes: a substrate; a pair of reflection electrodes that are formed on the substrate; and drive electrodes that are interposed between the reflection electrodes. In this surface acoustic wave device, the pitches in each of the reflection electrodes vary according to a predetermined variation pattern. With this structure, the suppression on spurious signals and the shape factor (the sharpness of the cut-off region of the pass band) can be improved at the same time.
