Column 

Description

Column 

Description

DeviceGuid 

The device that the network adapter belongs to.

AdapterType 

The network medium in use. May not be applicable to all types of network adapters listed in this class. Windows NT only.

AdapterTypeId 

The network medium in use. This same information as the AdapterType property, except that the the information is returned in the form of an integer value: 0 = Ethernet 802.3, 1 = Token Ring 802.5, 2 = Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), 3 = Wide Area Network (WAN), 4 = LocalTalk, 5 = Ethernet using DIX header format, 6 = ARCNET, 7 = ARCNET (878.2), 8 = ATM, 9 = Wireless, 10 = Infrared Wireless, 11 = Bpc, 12 = CoWan, 13 = 1394. This property may not be applicable to all types of network adapters listed within this class. Windows NT only.

Availability 

The availability and status of the device. For example, the Availability property indicates that the device is running and has full power (3), or is in a warning (4), test (5), degraded (10) or power save state (values 13-15 and 17). Power Save - Unknown (13) indicates that the device is known to be in a power save mode.

Index 

Indicates the network adapter's index number, which is stored in the system registry. For example: 0.

InstallDate 

The date and time the object was installed. Does not need a value to indicate that the object is installed.

Installed 

Determines whether the network adapter is installed in the system (TRUE) or not (FALSE). The Installed property has been deprecated. There is no replacement value. This property is now considered obsolete.

InterfaceIndex 

The index value that uniquely identifies the local interface.

MACAddress

Indicates the media access control address for this network adapter. A MAC address is a unique 48-bit number assigned to the network adapter by the manufacturer. It uniquely identifies this network adapter and is used for mapping TCP/IP network communications.

Manufacturer 

Indicates the name of the network adapter's manufacturer. For example: 3COM.

MaxNumberControlled

Indicates the maximum number of directly addressable ports supported by this network adapter. A value of zero should be used if the number is unknown.

MaxSpeed

The maximum speed for the network adapter, in bits per second.

Name

The label by which the object is known. When subclassed, the property can be overridden to be a key property.


NetConnectionID

Specifies the name of the network connection as it appears in the Network Connections folder.

NetConnectionStatus 

NetConnectionStatus is a string indicating the state of the network adapter's connection to the network. The value of the property is to be interpreted as follows: 0 = Disconnected, 1 = Connecting, 2 = Connected, 3 = Disconnecting, 4 = Hardware not present, 5 = Hardware disabled, 6 = Hardware malfunction, 7 = Media disconnected, 8 = Authenticating, 9 = Authentication succeeded, 10 = Authentication failed, 11 = Invalid Address, 12 = Credentials Required, 13 - 65536 = Other. For integer values other than those listed above, refer to Win32 error code documentation.

NetEnabled 

Specifies whether the network connection is enabled or not.

NetworkAddresses

An array of strings indicating the network addresses for an adapter.

PhysicalAdapter

Specifies if the adapter is physical adapter (TRUE) or logical adapter (FALSE).

PowerManagementCapabilities

The specific power-related capabilities of the logical device. Possible values are: 0=Unknown, 1=Not Supported, 2=Disabled, 3=Enabled, 4=Power Saving Modes Entered Automatically, 5=Power State Setting, 6=Power Cycling Supported, 7=Timed Power On Supported

PowerManagementSupported

Indicates if the Device can be power managed - ie, put into a power save state (TRUE) or not (FALSE). 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.

ProductName

Indicates the product name of the network adapter. For example: Fast EtherLink XL.

ServiceName

Indicates the service name of the network adapter. This name is usually shorter that the full product name. For example: Elnkii.

Speed

An estimate of the current bandwidth in bits per second. For endpoints that vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this property should contain the nominal bandwidth.

Status

The current status of the object.

StatusInfo

StatusInfo is a string indicating whether the logical device is in an enabled (3), disabled (4), or some other (1) or unknown (2) state. If this property does not apply to the logical device, use not applicable (5).

StatusInfoSystemName

The scoping system's Name.

TimeOfLastReset 

Indicates when the network adapter was last reset.
