Select the Advanced PM Settings tab from the property sheet dialog box. The Advanced PM Settings property
sheet will then appear:

19
Installation Guide
TM0100-3010, Rev 9A
Figure 39. VIA Telecom USB ETS Device Advanced Power Management Settings
Property sheet
There are three power-management variables that can be adjusted for the desired effect. Their description,
purpose, and valid settings are discussed below:
Performance Idle Timeout
The Performance Idle Timeout sets the time-out value (in seconds) to apply when the Windows
Operating System power policy optimizes for performance. This setting controls when the VIA Telecom
USB device will enter deep-sleep mode after a period of inactivity. After the Windows Operating System
power policy has entered a performance-optimization mode and the stated Performance Idle Timeout
period has elapsed with no device activity, the device will enter deep-sleep mode. A value of zero (0)
will disable the idle detection when performance policy is in effect.
Power Conservation Idle Timeout

The Power Conservation Idle Timeout sets the time-out value (in seconds) to apply when the Windows
Operating System power policy optimizes for energy conservation. This setting controls when the VIA
Telecom USB device will enter deep-sleep mode after a period of inactivity. After the Windows
Operating System power policy has entered an energy-conservation mode and the stated Power
Conservation Idle Timeout period has elapsed with no device activity, the device will enter deep-sleep
mode. A value of zero (0) will disable the idle detection when performance policy is in effect.

20
Installation Guide
TM0100-3010, Rev 9A
USB Select-Suspend
In Microsoft® Windows® XP and later operating systems, the USB core stack supports a feature known
as “Selective Suspend”. This feature allows a driver to turn off the USB device it controls when the
device becomes idle, even while the system itself remains in a fully operational power state (S0). This
feature is primarily intended to conserve battery power in laptops. The USB controller, in particular,
often uses a lot of battery power, even when there are no devices attached to the system. The Selective
Suspend feature allows drivers to idle the host controller, empty USB hubs, including the Root Hub, and
the full range of USB devices supported by the operating system. Select this feature to enable it. NOTE:
This feature is not available on computer’s running operating systems earlier than XP – therefore,
selecting it under these conditions will have no effect.
To save and apply modified power-management settings, select the Apply button on the Advanced PM Settings
property-sheet dialog box. Selecting the OK or Cancel button will only close the Advanced PM Settings
property sheet; it will not save any modified settings. To restore the original settings, click the Refresh button.
After the Apply button, the following statement will appear in the Advanced PM Settings property-sheet dialog
box’s Message box:
Figure 40. VIA Telecom USB ETS Device Advanced Power Management Settings Property
Sheet – Change Notification Message
This message notifies the user that the modified power-management settings will take effect upon the next
Plug-N-Play discovery for this device. To invoke a Plug-N-Play discovery for this device, either power cycle the
VIA Telecom USB device or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable from/to the device.
