About TCI mode
Tri-combo input (TCI) cards have six possible connectors. Due to limited card resources, only four of these input connectors can be active at a time. It is possible to select which group of connectors are active using TCI mode:
- Top 4, disables the bottom two connectors.
- Middle 4, disables the top and bottom connectors.
- Bottom 4, disables the top two connectors.
How to set
Is there more than one unit in the system?
- If yes, click on the header of the desired unit (reference A or B) in the central work window. Go to next step.
- If no, go to next step.

Select the desired TCI mode from the drop down after the desired (reference 24).
Note: The disabled connectors do not lose any configurations. Any signal that is sent to disabled connectors, will not be processed. To reactivate the connector, change the TCI mode and the same configuration will become active again.
Tip: Each TCI card can have its own mode independent of the other cards.
