Set By – an indication of who can set the attribute. “NMS” means only the NMS can set the value, 
“EMS” means only the EMS can set the value, and “E” means either the NMS or EMS can set the 
value 

Set When – an indication of when the attribute can be set. “C” (creation) means the attribute can 
only be set when the managed object is created, “L” (lifespan) means the attribute is only set after 
the managed object is created, and “A” (anytime) means the value can be set at birth or anytime 
thereafter.  

Format – the format of the attribute. Possible values are  

    “FREE” for Free Format (in this case the vendor or service provide may want provide their 

supported/required format(s), e.g., CLLI™ codes for the nativeEMSName)

 

    “FIXED” for Fixed Format (the format is defined in the IDL and must be used without 

variance, and no additional clarification is needed by the vendor or service provider) 

    “VALUE LIST” for List (the attribute takes values from a typically long set of possible values 

defined in the IDL, e.g., layerRate, pmParameterName).  In this case, the vendor or service 
provider may want to provide their supported/required set of values. VALUE LIST is used in 
only a few places in the following tables. Basically, a VALUE LIST is a data type with a set of 
supported values.  

These three categories are meant to be mutually exclusive.  

Clarification Needed – in cases where an attribute may allow for various implementation options, 
the EMS vendor should state how they are handling the option.  

Remarks: 

All parameters for second-level objects are readable by the NMS. Consequently, there is not a 
column to indicate whether or not an attribute is readable. 

There is one table for each interface. 

Table 2-2. Interface Name, e.g., EquipmentInventoryMgr
