Before you continue writing crp about TCAS/ACAS, take a couple of minutes and read the following downloadable document:
Eh? ok seeing as all the tech data was cut and pasted from an Airbus A340 certified document why don`t you tell them at:
ATTN. Flight Operations Support - STL

For instance no TA/RA or TA only mode selector? and the TCAS must be in AUTO? (transponders have ON/AUTO SELECTIONS)? So maybe your transponder/tcas is not as advanced? again from FCOM:
Mode sel TA/RA : Normal position.
Proximate and other intruders, TAs and RAs are displayed provided :
The ALT RPTG switch is at ON, and
The ATC mode selector is at ON or AUTO.
TA : To be used in case of aircraft degraded performance (engine failure, landing gear extended or approach on parallel runways). All RAs are converted into TAs. TAs, proximate and other intruders are displayed.
STBY : TCAS is on standby.
