Property Description
MaxContrast
This property represents the maximum value of contrast of
the video output device. Different manufacturers may have
different values.
MaxQuiesceTime
The use of this property has been deprecated. When
evaluating the use of Quiesce, it was determined that this
single property is not adequate for describing when a device
will automatically exit a quiescent state. In fact, the most likely
scenario for a device to exit a quiescent state was determined
to be based on the number of outstanding requests queued
rather than on a maximum time. This decision is reevaluated
and later. Deprecated description: Maximum time, in
milliseconds, that a Device can run in a Quiesced state. The
state is defined in its Availability and AdditionalAvailability
properties, where Quiesced is conveyed by the value 21.
What occurs at the end of the time limit is device-specific.
The Device can unquiesce, can be offline, or can take other
actions. A value of 0 indicates that a Device can remain
quiesced indefinitely.
MCCSVersionNumber
This property represents the version number of the Monitor
Command and Control Set (MCCS) standard recognized by
the display.
OperationalStatus
Indicates the current statuses of the element. Various
operational statuses are defined. Many of the enumeration's
values are self-explanatory.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Other
● 2 = OK
● 3 = Degraded
● 4 = Stressed — Indicates that the element is functioning,
but needs attention. Examples of Stressed states are
overload, overheated, and so on.
● 5 = Predictive Failure — Indicates that an element is
functioning nominally but predicting a failure soon.
● 6 = Error
● 7 = Non-Recoverable Error
● 8 = Starting
● 9 = Stopping
● 10 = Stopped — Implies a clean and orderly stop
● 11 = In Service — Describes an element being configured,
maintained, cleaned, or otherwise administered.
●
12 = No Contact — Indicates that the monitoring system
has knowledge of this element, but has never been able to
establish communications with it.
● 13 = Lost Communication — Indicates that the
ManagedSystem Element is known to exist and has been
contacted successfully in the past, but is unreachable.
● 14 = Aborted — Implies an abrupt stop where the state
and configuration of the element may need to be updated.
● 15 = Dormant — Indicates that the element is inactive or
quiesced.
● 16 = Supporting Entity in Error — Indicates that this
element may be OK but that another element, on which it
is dependent, is in error. An example is a network service
