Only ONE function can typically be set to either the input or output of each bi-
directional Serial Port (2, 3, 5, or 6). If the serial port input is set to a function then
the output should be set to 'UNUSED' and vice versa. If a Serial port's input and
output are both set only one setting is configured and unexpected operation can
occur. The exception is if a display output is set on a port output then the port input
can be set to display control otherwise the input should be set to 'UNUSED'. (See
paragraph 3.3.2.1 and 3.3.2.2 for details).
Control Input is not required for receive only systems.
Using the Android tablet ADS-B MPI application significantly improves system
configuration and troubleshooting through use of a graphical user interface (GUI).
The ADS-B MPI application includes additional and improved automated status
feedback and automatic enforcement of the above configuration rules that is not
available when configuring the system with the TC978 or the simple terminal
program MPI interface. The ADS-B MPI application requires use of either a Serial-
to-Wi-Fi Transceiver, FWF-125 (P/N 86943-00), properly connected to Port 3 or
Port 5 or the rechargeable battery powered MPI Module (P/N 87710-00) properly
connected to Port 3 or Port 5.
