3.2 Definitions

Access Control List Description Framework Dynamic Node Interior Node Leaf Node

Management Object

Alist of identifiers and access rights associated with each identifier.

Aspecification for how to describe the management syntax and semantics for a particular device type. ANode is dynamic if the DDF property Scope is set to Dynamic, or if the Scope property is unspecified. ANode that may have child Nodes, but cannot store any value. The Format property of an Interior Node is node.

ANode that can store a value, but cannot have child Nodes. The Format property of a Leaf Node is not node.

AManagement Object is a subtree of the Management Tree which is intended to be a (possibly singleton) collection of Nodes which are related in some way. For example, the ./DevInfo Nodes form a Management Object. A simple Management Object may consist of one single Node.

The Type property describing the kind of data stored as the Management Object’s value.

Anetwork based entity that issues OMA DM commands to devices and correctly interprets responses sent from the devices.

The mechanism by which the management client interacts with the device, e.g. by storing and retrieving values from it and by manipulating the properties of it, for example the access control lists.

ANode is a single element in a Management Tree. There can be two kinds of Nodes in a Management Tree: Interior Nodes and Leaf Nodes. The Format property of a Node provides information about whether aNode is a leaf or an Interior Node.

ANode is permanent if the DDF property Scope is set to Permanent. If a Node is not permanent, it is dynamic. A permanent Node can never be deleted.

The OMA DM internal name for a DM Server. A DM Server is associated with an existing Server Identifier in a device through OMA DM authentication
