The AddNodes Service allows specifying the Attributes for the Nodes to add. The NodeAttributes is an extensible parameter whose structure depends on the type of the NodeClass being added. It identifies the NodeClass that defines the structure of the Attributes that follow. The parameterTypeIds are defined in Table 148. The ExtensibleParameter type is defined in 7.12.

Table 148 – NodeAttributes parameterTypeIds

Defines an id and value list for passing in any number of Attribute values. It should be used instead of the NodeClass specific structures since it allows the handling of additional Attributes defined in future specification versions.

Table 149 defines the bit mask used in the NodeAttributes parameters to specify which Attributes are set by the Client.
