Programming the ARINC Channel Setup 

An integrated control chip set which controls 2 receive channels controls 
all ARINC channels and 1 transmit channel.  Each chip set is programmed 
with a separate control word that is formatted as follows:

If SDI filtering is enabled on a channel, the received SDI must match that 
channel’s two pre-filter mask bits.  If internal self-test is enabled, the data 
for a transmit channel is tied internally to both of its corresponding receive 
channels.  For example, on transmit channel 2, receive channel 3 gets the 
transmitted data and receive channel 4 gets the inverted data. 

The control words are located in the following dual-port memory offset 
locations:
