‘Save Port States’ Button.
This new feature allows you to decide which of the power ports are switched on
or off when the device is powered up. Note that the saved power port state is
independent of software and will be effective even if the software or PC is not
running. This effectively
allows you to set a power port to be ‘always on’
. Set all
4 ports on or off as you wish. Click the ‘Save Port States’ button. The next time
the unit is powered those ports will be on or off as chosen. Note that although
this does not require the software or PC to be running, the previously described
timer or current limiting fuses will not be effective unless the software is running.
The net effect of this feature allows chosen ports to be “always on”. This replaces
the need for separate “always on” p
orts which existed on previous versions of
MHP.
Please consider carefully the consequences of powering ports on
startup by using the
“Save Port State”
feature. This could have
undesired consequences when your equipment starts.
