Property Description

contains a string description of the type of port. A

range of values, DMTF_Reserved, has been defined

that allows subclasses to override and define their

specific types of ports.

Possible values are:

• 0 = Unknown

• 1 = Other

• 2 = Not Applicable

• 3..15999 = DMTF Reserved

• 16003 = DB9Male

• 16004 = DB9Female

• 16005 = DB25Male1

• 16006 = DB25Female1

• 16007 = RJ11

• 16008 = RJ45

• 16009 = Proprietary

• 16010 = CircularDIN8Male

• 16011 = CircularDIN8Female

• 16160 = MiniCentronicsType14

• 16161 = MiniCentronicsType26

• 16162..65535 = 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 identified.

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 define a user-friendly

name in addition to its key properties, identity data,

and description information.

NOTE: The Name property of

ManagedSystemElement is also defined 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.
