Service Message Description Table Service Name Type#1 Description Type can be either Notification or = Request & Response. ‘N’ = ‘R’ A service parameter dictionary table defines the description, range, Service Message Parameter Definition — and type for parameters used by services, as shown in the following table: Service Message Parameter Definition Table Parameter Name Form Description #1 A row is provided in the table for each parameter used on a service. A service message description table defines the parameters used in a service Service Message Definition — message, and describes each message and its cause/effect to the equipment, as shown in the following table: Service Message Definition Table Service Parameter Req/Ind Rsp/Conf Description The columns labeled Req/Ind and Rsp/Conf link the Definition of Req/Ind and Rsp/Conf Columns — parameters to the direction of the message. The message sent by the initiator is called the The receiver ‘Request’. terms this message the The receiver may then send a which the original sender terms the ‘Indication’. ‘Response’, ‘Confirmation’. The following codes appear in the Req/Ind and Definition of Codes for Req/Ind and Rsp/Conf Columns — Rsp/Conf columns and are used in the definition of the parameters (i.e., how each parameter is used in each direction): Codes For Req/Ind and Rsp/Conf Columns M Mandatory Parameter must be given a valid value – C Conditional Parameter may be defined in some circumstances and undefined in others.

U User-Defined Parameter - The parameter is not used = (for response only) Indicates that the value of this parameter in the response must match that in the primary (if defined) Variable Data Definitions Variable data definitions define variable data requirements. Values of these variables are available to the host via collection event reports and host status queries. The identifier of an object and all of the attributes of that object shall be Event Report Requirement — available for inclusion in event reports associated with that object. The object attribute variables in event reports linked to Object Attribute Variable in Non-Extinction Event — non-extinction event(s) shall contain the values of the attributes after the transition. This requirement allows the receiver of the report to know the current condition of the object.
