Transponder/Talk to tower

How do i Switch the Transponder ON once i have put in the frequency, and i m using FSinn and unable to communicate with the tower even though i m tuned in right and i can hear them. ATC could not see me even though i had the right frequency in the transponder. Obviously this was not on.Newbie

Thanks for you answer Larry. I think i should have divided my question into 2 parts. You have answered both for me though. Ya yesterday when i was online ATC asked me to switch my transponder on and i believed it was something to do with my Squawk. But from ur answer i understand is all i need to do is to click where "s" is written in FSInn so that it changes to "C" charlie. I totallyunderstand that, that has nothing to do with the radio itself but i have the answer so thanks for that. As for me not being able to talk to ATC i will read up on your link that you have provided.
