Midi port on ion

Is the Ion supposed to output power from the midi port? I'm sending MSC to fire projectoln cues I believe in D3. not sure though. 

the video programmer says he's having issues because the ion isn't outputting the standard 5v of power a midi port should output. I have never heard of the ion outputting power over midi so I'm asking on here to see if he is right and whether or not there's something wrong with the console.
