Table 17. PhysicalPackage (continued)
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
Table 18. ParallelPort
Property Description
BaseIOAddress An integer value that represents the base I/O address used by
the parallel port.
ConnectorType ConnectorType is defined to force consistent 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. Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
● 1 = Centronics
● 2 = Mini-Centronics
● 3 = Proprietary
● 4 = DB-25 Female
● 5 = DB-25 Male
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 32768.. = 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
