Property Description
CapabilityDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of the video
Accelerator features indicated in the Capabilities array. Note, each entry of this array is
related to the entry in the Capabilities array that is located at the same index.
CommunicationStatus
CommunicationStatus indicates the ability of the instrumentation to communicate with the
underlying ManagedElement. CommunicationStatus consists of one of the following values:
Unknown, None, Communication OK, Lost Communication, or No Contact. A Null return
indicates the implementation (provider) does not implement this property.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown — Indicates the implementation is in general capable of returning this
property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = Not Available — Indicates that the implementation (provider) is capable of returning
a value for this property, but not ever for this particular piece of hardware/software or
the property is intentionally not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in
the case of a property that is intended to add additional info to another property).
• 2 = Communication OK — Indicates communication is established with the element, but
does not convey any quality of service.
• 3 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the Managed Element is known to exist and
has been contacted successfully in the past, but is currently unreachable.
• 4 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of this element,
but has never been able to establish communications with it.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = Vendor Reserved
CreationClassName
Indicates the name of the class or the subclass used in the creation of an instance. When
used with the other key properties of this class, this property allows all instances of this
class and its subclasses to be uniquely identied.
Description
Provides a textual description of the object.
DeviceID
An address or other identifying information used to uniquely name the LogicalDevice.
ElementName
A user-friendly name for the object. This property allows each instance to dene a user-
friendly name in addition to its key properties, identity data, and description information.
NOTE: The Name property of ManagedSystemElement is also dened as a user-
friendly name. But, it is often subclassed to be a Key. It is not reasonable that the
same property can convey both identity and a user-friendly name, without
inconsistencies. Where Name exists and is not a Key (such as for instances of
LogicalDevice), the same information can be present in both the Name and
ElementName properties.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup conguration for the
Enabled State of an element. By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2).
Possible values are:
• 2 = Enabled
• 3 = Disabled
• 5 = Not Applicable
