Table 21. SerialPort (continued)
Property Description
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 the last RequestedState is not
supported for the EnabledLogicalElement, the property is
NULL or has the value 12 Not Applicable.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown—Indicates that the last requested state for
the element is unknown.
● 2 = Enabled
● 3 = Disabled
● 4 = Shut Down
● 5 = No Change
● 6 = Offline—Indicates that the element has been
requested to transition to the Enabled but Offline
EnabledState.
● 7 = Test
● 8 = Deferred
● 9 = Quiesce
● 10 = Reboot—Refers to doing a Shut Down and then
moving to an Enabled state.
● 11 = Reset—Indicates that the element is first Disabled
and then Enabled.
● 12 = Not Applicable
● .. = DMTF Reserved
● 32768..65535 = Vendor Reserved
Security
An enumeration indicating the operational security for the
Controller. For example, information that the Device's external
interface is locked out (value = 4) or Boot Bypass (value =
6) can be described using this property.
Possible values are:
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Unknown
● 3 = None
● 4 = External Interface Locked Out
● 5 = External Interface Enabled
● 6 = Boot Bypass
SerialPortCapabilities
The capabilities of this Serial port.
Possible values are:
● 1 = Other
● 2 = Unknown
● 3 = XT/AT compatible
● 4 = 16450 compatible
● 5 = 16550 compatible
● 6 = 16550A compatible
