Hub API which can then be connected to if the relevant steps have been taken, more
information on remote access can be seen in the Cambrionix Hub API user manual, which can

5.2.2 Charging
When the Host Port is connected to a local computer, the hub defaults to Sync mode and
charge currents are determined according to USB Implementers Forum (USBIF) Super-Speed
USB3 specifications. If the attached device complies with USB-IF Battery Charging
specification BC1.2 and supports Charging Downstream Port (CDP), the hub can provide high-
speed charging at 1.5A. If the connected device does not comply with BC1.2, the charge current
will be limited to Standard Downstream Port (SDP) which is0.5A in compliance with USB
specifications. Information on the different charging levels can be found in the
Specifications
The ThunderSync2-16 also has an 'ALT Sync Charge' mode which is on by default, having this
option selected will allow the ThunderSync2-16 to charge devices up to 2.4 A whilst syncing
data.
If you wish to limit the charging to your devices whilst connected to your host system then you
can disable CDP. You can disable CDP through Internal hub settings either by going through the
advanced settings and turning "Sync charge" off or through the API and disabling it via code. For
example, the instructions would be below using the command line.
The CLI commands for turning off the sync charge options, with a 1 or 0 per port.
settings_unlock
settings_reset
settings_set sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
settings_set alt_sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
reboot
This can also be done via the API if this is easier. Just supply that string (joined with \n) like:
cbrxapi.cbrx_connection_set(handle, "Settings", "settings_unlock\nsettings_
reset\nsettings_set sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\nsettings_set
alt_sync_chrg 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\nreboot")
Note that settings_reset clears any previous settings, so if you need to retain something else, it
would be better to issue settings_display first, which gives you the entire settings which you
can then modify and re-issue in entirety.
