Ion midi port power output

Is the Ion supposed to output power from the midi port? I'm sending MSC to fire projection 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.

    I'm sure ETC will be following the standard.
    I highly recommend anyone using midi to buy a USB to midi interface and use this for testing with free software (midi ox on PCs and midi monitor on Mac) this will save you hours every time you have midi problems.

    My bet is it a problem after the ion or a setting in the ion.
