The CIM_Setting class represents configuration-related and operational parameters for one or more managed system elements. A managed system element can have multiple setting objects associated with it. The current operational values for an element's parameters are reflected by properties in the element itself or by properties in its associations. These properties do not have to be the same values present in the setting object. For example, a modem may have a setting baud rate of 56 kilobytes per second, but be operating at 19.2 kilobytes per second.

The following syntax is simplified from Managed Object Format (MOF) code and includes all of the inherited properties. Properties are listed in alphabetic order, not MOF order.
