If you are connected to the ATLAS 550 using the CRAFT or CONTROL IN interfaces,
changing the PORT TYPE mode to DIAL will terminate your session. You MUST have
Ethernet access to the ATLAS 550 to change the PORT TYPE back to DIRECT and
restore your terminal session.
To complete the connection to the unit, the ATLAS 550 must now be called from a PC
configured to emulate a VT100 terminal, with communication software set as in step 3 and
configured for DIAL mode.
