Installation Manual
Document No. 88552 Rev A
The table below shows the MPI DE-9F connections to Port 5 on the FDL-DB Series.
An FFS fixed installation Serial-to-Wi-Fi Transceiver (P/N 86943-00) can be connected to Port
5. The MPI functionality can then be accessed wirelessly using the ADS-B MPI app.
When Port 5 is configured and interfaced to other equipment (e.g. displays etc.)
the connections to the configured device must be temporarily disconnected to use
the port for MPI purposes.
