1. A network device that is connectable to a network, the network device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
execute detection processing including detection of connection availability for a plurality of different types of connections to the network,
generate a detection code indicating a detection result of the plurality of different types of connections to the network in responding to the detection processing,
wherein the detection code includes a plurality of portions in which the detection result of each of the plurality of different types of connections to the network is stored in one of the plurality of portions according to a predetermined format,
wherein the detection code stores each value of an interval detection code (IDC) including IDCs related to connection method detection which includes information on the connection availability to the network with that connection method and an error type in a case where the connection the network is not available with that connection method, and
transmit the detection code or information with which the detection code is restorable to a specific transmission destination via the network that is connectable by detecting a type of connection to the network from among the different types of connections to the network, in a state of being connected to the network.
