Property Description
SerialNumber
A manufacturer-allocated number used to identify
the Physical Element.
SKU
The stock-keeping unit number for this
PhysicalElement.
Tag
An arbitrary string that uniquely identifies the
Physical Element and serves as the key of the
Element. The Tag property can contain
information such as asset tag or serial number
data. The key for PhysicalElement is placed very
high in the object hierarchy in order to
independently identify the hardware or entity,
regardless of physical placement in or on Cabinets,
Adapters, and so on. For example, a hotswappable
or removable component can be taken from its
containing (scoping) Package and be temporarily
unused. The object still continues to exist and can
even be inserted into a different scoping container.
Therefore, the key for Physical Element is an
arbitrary string and is defined independently of any
placement or location-oriented hierarchy.
Version
A string that indicates the version of the
PhysicalElement.
DCIM_ParallelPort
Property Description
BaseIOAddress
An integer value that represents the base I/O
address used by the parallel port.
ConnectorType

naming of the 'connector type' property in
subclasses and to guarantee unique enum values
for all instances of ParallelPort. When set to 3
(Proprietary), the related property
OtherConnectorType contains a string description
of the type of port.
