*The TC978 will not accept control inputs and will mirror the transponder or primary
controller. If communication with the primary controller is lost for 60 seconds, then
the TC978 will assume the role of the controller and allow control inputs (squawk,
IDENT). If the TC978 is used in this manner, it is strongly recommended to set the
squawk code first on the transponder before entering it into the TC978.
**When the Port 6 Input is set to TMAP Remote, the corresponding Port 6 Output
must be configured for Other 3, as well. The baud rate must be set to 38400 to
ensure proper communication with the device.
The display screen is as shown below with one of the options from the list above.
