Patent attributes
A remote management apparatus and a method of setting an IP address thereof. The remote management apparatus includes a determination unit to determine whether an IP address of a server connected through a network coincides with an IP address intended to be used for communications with the server, and a control unit to perform an IP address mapping for the server and automatically allocating the mapped IP address to the server if the IP address of the server and the IP address intended to be used for the communications with the server do not coincide with each other. When an IP-based device is added to a network in which the remote management apparatus takes part, the IP address of the added device is automatically set for the convenience of the user.
