SSC-32 And Virtual Ports

Is there any way of turning off a virtual port? I am using an SSC-32 for more ports and was hoping to use the PWM(V0,90) command to set the voltage value of a virtual port. But this command only works for digital ports. I want to connect some LEDs to the virtual ports and turn them on and off.

Will this upset other standard 90 degree servos connected to the SSC-32U? The default range on the config was 650-2250, and I was only getting about 220 degrees rotation.
