CIM Elements

The following table describes the CIM elements used to implement the Wi-Fi Port Configuration feature.

Element Name	Description	Instance Creation**	Cardinality
Classes
AMT_WiFiPortConfigurationService	Provides management of the Wi-Fi network interfaces associated with a Wi-Fi network port. This class is responsible for all of the wireless profile operations such as add, update and delete all profiles.	Static	1
CIM_WiFiPortCapabilities	Describes the capabilities of a WiFiPort.	Static	1
CIM_WiFiPort	The logical representation of wireless local area network communications hardware that conforms to the IEEE 802.11 series of specifications. It embodies properties at the lowest layers of a network stack, such as the antennas used for transmission and reception, the address permanently embedded into the hardware, and the operational bandwidth of the device.	Static	1
CIM_WiFiEndpointCapabilities	Describes the capabilities of a WiFiEndpoint.	Static	1
CIM_WiFiEndpoint	A wireless communication endpoint which, when its associated interface device is associated with an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN, may send and receive data frames.	Static	1
CIM_WiFiEndpointSettings	Describes setting data that can be applied to an instance of CIM_WiFiEndpoint to enable it to associate to a particular Wi-Fi network.	Implicit	0 to 24 (16 IT profiles and 8 User profiles)
CIM_IEEE8021xCapabilities	Describes the IEEE 802.1x security capabilities of a layer 2 ProtocolEndpoint.	Static	1
CIM_IEEE8021xSettings	Specifies a set of IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Network Access Control settings that can be applied to ISO OSI layer 2 ProtocolEndpoint.	Implicit	0 to 24 (one for each profile created)
AMT_PublicKeyCertificate	Represents a X.509 Certificate in the Intel AMT CertStore. This class may be associated to CIM_IEEE8021xSettings instance.	User	0 to 11 (4 root certificates; 7 client certificates)
AMT_PublicPrivateKeyPair	Represents a public-private key in the Intel AMT CertStore. This class may be associated to AMT_PublicKeyCertificate when it is a personal certificate of the Intel AMT machine.	User	0 to 7
Associations
CIM_ElementSettingData	Associates between CIM_WiFiEndpoint and CIM_WiFiEndpointSettings.	Implicit	*
CIM_DeviceSAPImplementation	An association between a Service Access Point (SAP) and how it is implemented.	Static	*
CIM_ConcreteComponent	A generic association used to establish “part of” relationships between ManagedElements.	Static/Implicit	*
CIM_ElementCapabilities	Represents the association between ManagedElements and their capabilities.	Static	*
CIM_HostedService	Associates between the Intel AMT CIM_ComputerSystem and AMT_WiFiPortConfigurationService.	Static	*
CIM_ServiceAffectsElement	Represents an association between a service and the ManagedElements that might be affected by its execution.	Static	*
CIM_ConcreteDependency	A generic association used to establish dependency relationships between ManagedElements.	Static	*
CIM_CredentialContext	This relationship defines a context (e.g., a System or Service) of a Credential.	Implicit	*
* Multiple instances ** Instance Creation: • Implicit: Instances created implicitly by Intel AMT in response to a user CIM operation • Static: Instances created by Intel AMT on initialization • User: The class supports create/delete
