1. A system comprising:
a first user side device installed in a predetermined property of an air conditioner among a plurality of user side devices;
a remote controller adapted to connect communicatively with one or more of the plurality of the user side devices;
a terminal; and
a management server,
wherein the terminal is configured to display a screen that enables a user to select an address to be allocated to the first user side device, the screen including a plurality of candidates of a plurality of addresses, a display form of an address that has been set and a display form of an address yet to be set being displayed differently,
wherein the address selected on the screen is set to the remote controller,
wherein the remote controller receives information for identifying the first user side device from one or more user side devices installed in the predetermined property, and transmits the received information for identifying the first user side device remotely to the terminal,
wherein the terminal generates first information based on the information for identifying the first user side device from the remote controller and transmits the first information for identifying the first user side device installed in the predetermined property to the management server,
wherein the management server stores second information as information on a user side device to be installed in the predetermined property, and based on the first information and the second information received from the terminal, the management server determines whether the first user side device installed in the predetermined property matches the user side device to be installed in the predetermined property,
wherein the management server receives the first information for identifying the first user side device from the terminal, and determines (1) whether the first user side device of the air conditioner is correctly connected with the remote controller and (2) whether another user side device of the plurality of user side devices other than the first user side device incorrectly connects with the remote controller,
wherein, upon determining that the first user side device is correctly connected to the remote controller, a communication connection between the first user side device and the remote controller is enabled, and
wherein, upon determining that the first user side device is not correctly connected to the remote controller, or at least one of the another user side device of the plurality of user side devices is incorrectly connected to the remote controller, the management server causes the terminal to display an error.
