MPI setting names are listed first with TC978 configuration menu names in
parenthesis ().
(2)
Control Input is not required for receive only systems.
(3)
Setting an input port to Disp-Cntrl (TIS/FIS) must correspond to setting the same
output port to a display output (e.g. if serial port 6 output is set to Traffic-Alert
(TIS/FIS), then serial port 6 input can be set to either a) Disp-Cntrl (TIS/FIS) to
enable display control or b) UNUSED (Not Used) to disable display control. ONLY
one display port should be set to Disp-Ctrl).
(4)
When the FDL-978 is configured for GTX-Remote Input, it will automatically
configure the corresponding serial output to provide ADS-B Plus GPS data out to
the GTX device.
(5)
Refer to Error! Reference source not found. and Figure 24 for examples of
wiring with one or two pin time mark output.
(6)
If any port is configured with these settings on a system with a TC978 installed,
then the TC978 will not accept inputs and will instead mirror the control inputs
coming from the transponder or the display. If control input is lost from another
device for 60 seconds, then the TC978 will take over the role as the primary
controller.

Description
4800, 9600, 19200,
38400, 57600, 115200
These baud rates are typical for RS-232 or RS-422 equipment but
the correct rate must be selected to match the interfacing
equipment’s configured or default baud rate.
230400, 460800
These high baud rates are not recommended for RS-232 serial
ports.
