DCIM_DisplayController
Property Description
CapabilityDescriptions
An array of free-form strings providing more detailed explanations for any of
the video Accelerator features indicated in the Capabilities array. Note, each
entry of this array is related to the entry in the Capabilities array that is located
at the same index.
CommunicationStatus
CommunicationStatus indicates the ability of the instrumentation to
communicate with the underlying ManagedElement. CommunicationStatus
consists of one of the following values: Unknown, None, Communication OK,
Lost Communication, or No Contact. A Null return indicates the implementation
(provider) does not implement this property.
Possible values are:
• 0 = Unknown - Indicates the implementation is in general capable of
returning this property, but is unable to do so at this time.
• 1 = Not Available - Indicates that the implementation (provider) is
capable of returning a value for this property, but not ever for this
particular piece of hardware/software or the property is intentionally
not used because it adds no meaningful information (as in the case of a
property that is intended to add additional info to another property).
• 2 = Communication OK - Indicates communication is established with
the element, but does not convey any quality of service.
• 3 = Lost Communication - Indicates that the Managed Element is known
to exist and has been contacted successfully in the past, but is
currently unreachable.
• 4 = No Contact - Indicates that the monitoring system has knowledge of
this element, but has never been able to establish communications with
it.
• .. = DMTF Reserved
• 0x8000.. = 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.
Description
Provides a textual description of the object.
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. By default, the element is
"Enabled" (value=2).
