Property Description
Caption
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
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.
CurrentState
The current state indicated by the Sensor. This is always one of the
PossibleStates.
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.
EnabledDefault
An enumerated value indicating an administrator's default or startup configuration
for the Enabled State of an element.
Possible values are:
● 2 = Enabled
● 3 = Disabled
● 5 = Not Applicable
● 6 = Enabled but Offline
● 7 = No Default
● 9 = Quiesce
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
By default, the element is Enabled (value = 2).
EnabledState
An integer enumeration that indicates the enabled and disabled states of an element.
It can also indicate the transitions between these requested states.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown
