CHAPTER 4: OPERATION
The problem is that the USB to RS-232 Converter buffers the RX bytes and we poll the driver. If we do not receive any
bytes in 200ms we may report an erroneous event even if there are available bytes in the USB to RS-232 Converter
device or driver.
4.6 CONFIDENCE TEST TAB
The Confidence Test tab allows you to perform a confidence test on the internal workings of the serial ports.

The Power Management tab allows you to turn the power on and off for select model Hubports with USB
PlusPower ports.
Note This applies to Compact (/c) or PCI card PlusPower Hubport models. This feature does not toggle the 5V
standard USB port. It only applies to the 12V and 24V USB ports.
