| Description | This object contains the index number of the first
available entry in the CMS table (pktcMtaDevCmsTable).
If all the entries in the CMS table have been assigned,
this object contains the value of zero.
A management station should create new entries in the
CMS table, using the following procedure:
First, issue a management protocol retrieval operation
to determine the value of the first available index in the
CMS table (pktcMtaDevCmsAvailSlot).
Second, issue a management protocol SET operation
to create an instance of the pktcMtaDevCmsStatus
object by setting its value to 'createAndWait(5)'.
Third, if the SET operation succeeded, continue
modifying the object instances corresponding to the newly
created conceptual row, without fear of collision with
other management stations. When all necessary conceptual
columns of the row are properly populated (via SET
operations or default values), the management station may
SET the pktcMtaDevCmsStatus object to 'active(1)'. |
