5.4. Managing Ports & Your ThunderSync3-C10
Each port on your ThunderSync3-C10 can be managed either individually, or all together. You can turn
the ports off and on, change the port mode, or change various other settings applicable to the
ThunderSync3-C10 more information can be found in the
section under NVRAM
settings.
This can be done through LiveViewer, the CLI or by connecting to the hub via the API.
5.4.1 Port Modes
Sync
Turn specific ports or the whole hub to sync mode
Off
Turn specific ports on or off or switch the whole hub on or off (no power and no
data channels open, mimics unplugging the device)
5.4.2 Switching port modes
You can switch between port modes by using LiveViewer, the CLI or by connecting to the hub via the
API. If you switch a port off then this will stop any connection taking place to the USB
device and
would mimic unplugging the USB device completely from the host system.
You can disable CDP
through NVRAM
settings either by going through the hub settings and turning
"Sync charge" off or through the API

the instructions would be as below.
