ABSTRACT:
In a system in which processing modules are coupled to each other and to peripheral devices through a network and wherein the operation of the peripheral device is managed by processing module managers employing different management protocols, the peripheral device includes plural agents each with a different management protocol to exchange data with the managers having the same management protocol. The plural agents are coupled to the managed device by an instrumentation interface which operates to translate request messages from the manager into calling signals for the managed device controller, to receive status and attribute signals from the managed device controller and to send data messages on the status and attribute signals to the requesting agent having the same management protocol as the requesting processing module manager. Alert signals from the managed device are sent to the instrumentation interface which provides data messages on the alert to the plural agents so that the processing module managers having different management protocols can interpret the alert condition of the managed device.
