The class, ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism, describes access to an ObjectManager. It describes a protocol and data encoding that can be used for communication. When all instances of this class are enumerated for an ObjectManager (using the CommMechanismForManager association), all possible protocol and encoding schemes will be known. Also, specific capabilities (for example, basic read or query) that are supported in the protocol/encoding are described - using the ProfilesSupported property.

{'Description':'The state requested for the element. This information will be placed into the RequestedState property of the instance if the return code of the RequestStateChange method is 0 ('Completed with No Error'), 3 ('Timeout'), or 4096 (0x1000) ('Job Started'). Refer to the description of the EnabledState and RequestedState properties for the detailed explanations of the RequestedState values.','ModelCorrespondence':['CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.RequestedState'],'ValueMap':['2', '3', '4', '6', '7', '8', '9', '10', '11', '..', '32768..65535'],'Values':['Enabled', 'Disabled', 'Shut Down', 'Offline', 'Test', 'Defer', 'Quiesce', 'Reboot', 'Reset', 'DMTF Reserved', 'Vendor Reserved']}

{'Description':'A timeout period that specifies the maximum amount of time that the client expects the transition to the new state to take. The interval format must be used to specify the TimeoutPeriod. A value of 0 or a null parameter indicates that the client has no time requirements for the transition. If this property does not contain 0 or null and the implementation does not support this parameter, a return code of 'Use Of Timeout Parameter Not Supported' must be returned.'}
'A free-form string providing additional information related to the AdvertiseType. A description MUST be provided when the AdvertiseType is 1, "Other". An entry in this array corresponds to the entry in the AdvertiseTypes array at the same index. It is not expected that additional descriptions are needed if the Type is set to "Not Advertised" or "SLP". However, as the SLP template expands, or as other advertisement mechanisms are defined, support for additional descriptions may be needed. This array is defined to support this.'
'This property signifies the advertisement for this access point. . It is used by the advertising services of the WBEM infrastructure to determine what should be advertised, via what mechanisms. The property is an array so that the communicationMechansim MAY be advertised using several mechanisms. Note: If this property is null/uninitialized, this is equivalent to specifying the value 2, "Not Advertised".'
'Free-form strings providing descriptions of the supported mechanisms. Entries in this array are correlated with those in the AuthenticationMechanismsSupported array. An entry in this Descriptions array MUST be provided when 1, "Other", is specified in AuthenticationMechanismsSupported.'
'Enumerated array describing the types of authentication supported by the ObjectManager, using the encoding/protocol. specified in the property, CommunicationMechanism. The defined values represent the authentication defined in the DMTF document, Specification for CIM Operations over HTTP.'
'CommunicationMechanism describes an encoding and protocol which can be used to communicate with the server. ObjectManager, the specified string should be indicated. If Other is used, the value for OtherCommunicationMechanismDescription must not be null.'
'Free-form strings providing descriptions of the supported operations of the object manager. Entries in the array are correlated with those in the ProfilesSupported array. An entry in this Descriptions array MUST be provided when 1, "Other", is specified in the FunctionalProfilesSupported array.'
'Enumerated array describing the types of operations supported by the ObjectManager, using this encoding/protocol. The enumeration is based on the Functional Profiles defined for conformance in the DMTF document, Specification for CIM Operations over HTTP.'
'Provides the protocol version for this service access point. Version information MUST be in the form of M.N, where M is a numeric that describes the Major version and N is a numeric that describes the minor version.'
