| PROPERTY | SMS_REPORT | CIMTYPE | DESCRIPTION |
| AnswerMode | | UInt16 | Answer mode defines the current auto-answer/call-back setting for the modem. |
| Availability | | UInt16 | The availability and status of the device. For example, the Availability property indicates that the device is running and has full power (value=3), or is in a warning (4), test (5), degraded (10) or power save state (values 13-15 and 17). Regarding the power saving states, these are defined as follows: Value 13 ("Power Save - Unknown") indicates that the device is known to be in a power save mode, but its exact status in this mode is unknown; 14 ("Power Save - Low Power Mode") indicates that the device is in a power save state but still functioning, and may exhibit degraded performance; 15 ("Power Save - Standby") describes that the device is not functioning but could be brought to full power 'quickly'; and value 17 ("Power Save - Warning") indicates that the device is in a warning state, though also in a power save mode. |

25 Windows is still setting up this device.
26 Windows is still setting up this device.
27 This device does not have valid log configuration.
28 The drivers for this device are not installed.
29 This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources.
30 This device is using an Interrupt Request (IRQ) resource that another device is using.
31 This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. |
| ConfigManagerUserConfig | | Boolean | Indicates whether the device is using a user-defined configuration. |
| CountriesSupported | | String | CountriesSupported is an array (bag) that contains a set of strings defining the countries/regions in which the modem can operate. |
| CountrySelected | | String | CountrySelected is a string value defining the country/region for which the modem is currently programmed. When multiple countries/regions are supported, this property defines which one is currently selected for use. |
| CreationClassName | | String | 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. |
| CurrentPasswords | | String | CurrentPasswords is an array (bag) containing the currently defined passwords for the modem. This array may be left blank for security reasons. |
| Description | | String | The Description property provides a textual description of the object. |
| DeviceID | | String | DeviceID is an address or other identifying information to uniquely name the logical device. |
| DialType | | UInt16 | DialType is an integer indicating whether tone (value=1) or pulse dialing (value=2) is used. "Unknown" (0) can also be defined. |
| ErrorCleared | | Boolean | ErrorCleared is a boolean property indicating that the error reported in LastErrorCode property is now cleared. |
| ErrorControlInfo | | UInt16 | Describes the error correction characteristics of the modem. |
| ErrorDescription | | String | ErrorDescription is a free-form string supplying more information about the error recorded in LastErrorCode property, and information on any corrective actions that may be taken. |
| InactivityTimeout | | UInt32 | InactivityTimeout defines the time limit (in seconds) for automatic disconnection of the phone line, if no data is exchanged. A value of 0 indicates that this feature is present but not enabled. |
| InstallDate | | DateTime | The InstallDate property is datetime value indicating when the object was installed. A lack of a value does not indicate that the object is not installed. |
| LastErrorCode | | UInt32 | LastErrorCode captures the last error code reported by the logical device. |
| MaxBaudRateToPhone | | UInt32 | Defines the maximum settable communication speed for accessing the phone system. |
| MaxBaudRateToSerialPort | | UInt32 | Defines the maximum settable communication speed to the COM port for an external modem. Enter 0 if not applicable. |
| MaxNumberOfPasswords | | UInt16 | MaxNumberOfPasswords specifies the number of passwords definable in the modem itself. If this feature is not supported, enter 0. |
| ModulationScheme | | UInt16 | Describes the modulation scheme of the modem. |
| Name | | String | The Name property defines the label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the Name property can be overridden to be a Key property. |
| PNPDeviceID | | String | Indicates the Win32 Plug and Play device ID of the logical device. Example: *PNP030b |
| PowerManagementCapabilities | | UInt16 | Indicates the specific power-related capabilities of the logical device. The array values, 0="Unknown", 1="Not Supported" and 2="Disabled" are self-explanatory. The value, 3="Enabled" indicates that the power management features are currently enabled but the exact feature set is unknown or the information is unavailable. "Power Saving Modes Entered Automatically" (4) describes that a device can change its power state based on usage or other criteria. "Power State Settable" (5) indicates that the SetPowerState method is supported. "Power Cycling Supported" (6) indicates that the SetPowerState method can be invoked with the PowerState input variable set to 5 ("Power Cycle"). "Timed Power On Supported" (7) indicates that the SetPowerState method can be invoked with the PowerState input variable set to 5 ("Power Cycle") and the Time parameter set to a specific date and time, or interval, for power-on. |
| PowerManagementSupported | | Boolean | Boolean indicating that the Device can be power managed - ie, put into a power save state. This boolean does not indicate that power management features are currently enabled, or if enabled, what features are supported. Refer to the PowerManagementCapabilities array for this information. If this boolean is false, the integer value 1, for the string, "Not Supported", should be the only entry in the PowerManagementCapabilities array. |
| RingsBeforeAnswer | | UInt8 | Number of rings before the modem answers an incoming call. |
| SpeakerVolumeInfo | | UInt16 | Describes the volume level of the audible tones from the modem. For example, high, medium or low volume can be reported (values 3, 4 or 5, respectively). |
| Status | | String | The Status property is a string indicating the current status of the object. Various operational and non-operational statuses can be defined. Operational statuses are "OK", "Degraded" and "Pred Fail". "Pred Fail" indicates that an element may be functioning properly but predicting a failure in the near future. An example is a SMART-enabled hard drive. Non-operational statuses can also be specified. These are "Error", "Starting", "Stopping" and "Service". The latter, "Service", could apply during mirror-resilvering of a disk, reload of a user permissions list, or other administrative work. Not all such work is on-line, yet the managed element is neither "OK" nor in one of the other states. |
| StatusInfo | | UInt16 | StatusInfo is a string indicating whether the logical device is in an enabled (value = 3), disabled (value = 4) or some other (1) or unknown (2) state. If this property does not apply to the logical device, the value, 5 ("Not Applicable"), should be used. |
| SupportsCallback | | Boolean | Indication of whether the modem supports call-back |
| SupportsSynchronousConnect | | Boolean | Boolean indicating that synchronous, as well as asynchronous, communication is supported. |
| SystemCreationClassName | | String | The scoping System's CreationClassName. |
| SystemName | | String | The scoping System's Name. |
| TimeOfLastReset | | DateTime | The TimeOfLastReset property indicates the date and time this controller was last reset. This could mean the controller was powered down, or reinitialized. |
