3. The Set Value dialog has four fields: one for the OID

that is being called; another called Index, that identifies

the LED being manipulated; and a third called Value, to

set the state of the LED. The fourth field (Syntax)

informs you of the type of character to be used to set the

value. In this case, we are using the integers 0 and 1: 0

turns the LED off, and 1 turns it on. After entering the

correct information into the fields (as shown at right),

click on the Set button and check if the LED1 indicator

has lit up (LED 1 is shown in the figure at the top of this

section,

Using Synmap to Control the

Programmable LEDs).

4. Next, set the value to 0 and click Set to turn off the LED, then visually verify that the LED has successfully

turned off. If you experience problems at this point, please review the instructions above and if the

problem persists, contact Moxa technical support or visit our .

Using Synmap to Set the OS Power Policy

The following table shows the OID power policy control, read/write option and available values.

Item Name OID Access Value to set

powerPolicy 1.3.6.1.4.1.8691.17.1.7.2 read-write 1(Balanced)

2(Power Saver)

3(High Performance)

The powerPolicy OID allows you to change the Windows 7 power policy. Balanced may be considered normal

operations, and except in extreme circumstances of exceptionally high CPU use or where strict energy

conservation must be maintained, this option will provide satisfactory performance. Power Saver will

conserve power usage to the maximum extent possible, restricting the CPU to around 36% capacity. High

Performance maximizes CPU cycles for all applications at all times; generally, High Performance is not

recommended, and in many (perhaps most) circumstances where the TC-6110 is used, Power Saver mode

may be adequate to the system’s needs. Sysadmins should carefully review the needs of the system and do

some quick tests to make the most informed decision. These settings may be further fine-tuned with advanced

choices in the Windows 7 OS.
