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.<h3> Table of Contents<br> <a href="#c_hierarchy">Hierarchy</a> <br> <a href="#c_subclasses">Direct Known Subclasses</a> <br> <a href="#c_qualifiers">Class Qualifiers</a> <br> <a href="#c_properties">Class Properties</a> <br> <a href="#c_methods">Class Methods</a> <br> </h3> <hr> </hr> <H2> <a name="c_hierarchy">Class Hierarchy</a> </H2> <a href="CIM_ManagedElement.html">CIM_ManagedElement</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<a href="CIM_ManagedSystemElement.html">CIM_ManagedSystemElement</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<a href="CIM_LogicalElement.html">CIM_LogicalElement</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<a href="CIM_EnabledLogicalElement.html">CIM_EnabledLogicalElement</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<a href="CIM_ServiceAccessPoint.html">CIM_ServiceAccessPoint</a> <br data="@NAME"> |<br> +--<b>CIM_ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism</b> <br data="CIM_ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism -- CIM_ServiceAccessPoint"> <H2> <a name="c_subclasses">Direct Known Subclasses</a> </H2> <a href="CIM_CIMXMLCommunicationMechanism.html">CIM_CIMXMLCommunicationMechanism</a> <BR> <H2> <a name="c_qualifiers">Class Qualifiers</a> </H2> <TABLE BORDER="1" CELLPADDING="1" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TH>Name</TH><TH>Data Type</TH><TH>Value</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN="TOP">Description</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">string</TD><TD VALIGN="TOP">The class, ObjectManagerCommunicationMechanism, describes access to an ObjectManager.
