Table 18. ParallelPort (continued)
Property Description
● 8 = Deferred — Indicates that the element may be
completing commands, but will queue any new requests.
● 9 = Quiesce — Indicates that the element is enabled but in
a restricted mode. Starting (10) indicates that the element
is in the process of going to an Enabled state. New
requests are queued.
● 10 = Starting
● 11..32767 = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
IRQLevel
An integer value that represents the IRQ level used by the
parallel port.
Pinout
The pinout used by the I/O device on this parallel port.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = XT/AT
● 2 = PS/2
● 3 = ECP
● 4 = EPP
● 5 = IEEE 1284
● 25 = PC-98
●
26 = PC-98-Hireso
● .. = DMTF Reserved
RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or
desired state for the element, irrespective of the mechanism
through which it was requested. The actual state of the
element is represented by EnabledState. This property is
provided to compare the last requested and current enabled
or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5
(Not Applicable), then this property has no meaning. Refer
to the EnabledState property description for explanations of
the values in the RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0)
indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated
instead of indicating the last requested state is Unknown
(0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown,
RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but
may have the value No Change (5).Offline (6) indicates
that the element has been requested to transition to the
Enabled but Offline EnabledState. There are two new
values in RequestedState that build on the statuses of
EnabledState. These are Reboot (10) and Reset (11).
Shut Down requests an orderly transition to the Disabled
state, and may involve removing power, to completely
erase any existing state. The Disabled state requests an
immediate disabling of the element, such that it will not
execute or accept any commands or processing requests.
This property is set as the result of a method invocation
(such as Start or StopService on CIM_Service), or can be
overridden and defined as WRITEable in a subclass. The
method approach is considered superior to a WRITEable
property, because it allows an explicit invocation of the
operation and the return of a result code. If knowledge of
