ABSTRACT:
If it becomes necessary to add, to a past device information list (past list), a record of device information of a target removed from a network, and if the number of records in the past list is already at its maximum so that it is impossible to store any more records in the past list, a microprocessor of a controller decides the priority of the removed target, based on device information of the removed target and on information of the kind of controller as stored in a configuration ROM in the controller. From records stored in the past list, the microprocessor searches for a record having a priority lower than the priority of the removed target, one by one in order from the first record therein. If the microprocessor finds a record having such a lower priority, the microprocessor deletes from the past list such record having been first found, and adds to the past list a record of the device information regarding the removed target. If the microprocessor fails to find such a record, the microprocessor searches for a record, which has the same priority as the priority of the removed target, from the records in the past list one by one in order from the first record therein. The microprocessor deletes from the past list such a record as having been first found, and adds to the past list a record of the device information regarding the removed target.
