    Hi Rick,
     
    I propose moving them up to an 'A', because the light table is
    otherwise not very interesting to a management application.
     
    Cheers,

    Subject: WIMS> CIM> one queston about console lights

    Forgot to ask this today. How does one tell remotely if a console light is
    turned on, e.g., some warning light? The only method I can find is to look
    at the light times. If OnTime is nz and OffTime is z, then the light is on,
    supposedly, I think; and v-v, if OnTime is z and OffTime is nz, thenthe
    light is off. We didn't want these properties to be writable, as they were
    spec'ed in the MIB, because no one ever used them to blink the lights. But
    they might be very useful to read if the controller manipulates them
    properly. Anyone have any idea if controllers actually do that? If so, do
    we want perhaps to promote these to A or still leave it up to the vendor as
    B?
