<p>A method, system, and computer program product for encoding data representing access information configured to be used by a selected communication protocol to extract status information related to a monitored device among distinct devices communicatively coupled to a network, and a monitoring device (902) having a memory containing data representing access information configured to be used by a selected communication protocol to extract information related to a monitored device among distinct devices communicatively coupled to a network. The access information is generated by a method including the steps of (1) retrieving, from an external storage device, a plurality of implementation identifiers, wherein each implementation identifier identifies at least one access function configured to access the monitored device to obtain at least one of model information, a unique identifier, and status information of the monitored device; and (2) accessing an external information storage unit (904) to obtain support information for accessing the monitored device using the at least one access function, the support information including precondition information used for obtaining the at least one of the model information, the unique identifier, and the status information from the monitored device, wherein the precondition information restricts a location of a type of information of interest obtainable from the monitored device.
