1. An apparatus for generating a multiway packet, the apparatus comprising:
a setting module that sets a multiway switch group by selecting multiple switches;
a packet-generating module that generates a data packet according to the set multiway switch group; and
a transmission module that transmits the generated data packet to the multiple switches.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the multiway switch group comprises at least one of a master switch and a slave switch, and is outputted through a user interface (UI) screen in a classified state by groups.
3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the data packet is transmitted by power line communication (PLC), wireless communication, or serial communication.
4. An apparatus for forming a multiway switch group, the apparatus comprising:

a forming module that binds multiple switches as the multiway switch group according to the read setting value of the multiway switch group.
5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the reading module reads the setting value of the multiway switch group via a parser program.
6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the multiway switch group comprises at least one of a master switch and a slave switch, the slave switch bound to the master switch is operated as a multiway switch, and information about the slave switch is stored in a memory of the master switch.
7. A method of generating a multiway packet, the method comprising:
setting a multiway switch group by selecting multiple switches;
generating a data packet according to the set multiway switch group; and
transmitting the generated data packet to the multiple switches.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein the multiway switch group comprises at least one of a master switch and a slave switch, and is outputted through a user interface (UI) screen in a classified state by groups.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the data packet is transmitted via power line communication (PLC), wireless communication, or serial communication.
10. A method of forming a multiway switch group, the method comprising:
receiving a data packet generated according to a setting value of a multiway switch group;
reading the setting value of the multiway switch group of the data packet; and
binding multiple switches as a multiway switch group according to the read setting value of the multiway switch group.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the reading reads the setting value of the multiway switch group via a parser program.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the multiway switch group comprises at least one of a master switch and a slave switch, the slave switch bound to the master switch is operated as a multiway switch, and information about the slave switch is stored in a memory of the master switch.
13. A method of configuring a switch group, the method comprising:
receiving a data packet comprising a switch group information;
reading the switch group information in the received data packet;
binding a first switch of a plurality of switches with a second switch of the plurality of switches in accordance with the switch group information, the first switch having a first state and a second state, and the second switch having a third state and a fourth state;
wherein an operation of the first switch switches an operation of a first device connected to the second switch.
