Steve,

Squawk Mode Charlie is basically setting your transponder to active!

On the IVaP panel you have a switch that says "Standby" and "Transmit" (Or TX or Mode C depending on what skin you use) When online as you enter on to the Runway and before takeoff you switch this to Transmit or TX or Mode C. At the end of your flight, when you are on the ground, when you leave the runway before you taxi to the gate you switch this to Standby.

This switch turns your transponder on which transmits the data about your aircraft on the network, its the same in real life, it gives your Radar signature an Identity so the controller can see the relevant information about your aircraft like Heading and Altitude etc.

Hope that helps.

Also, when theres no ATC, always turn your transponder to C when airborne, so other people can see you on TCAS!
