SLT | Read security: 5 |
| Identifies the slot number. Slot 0 refers to the ATLAS 550 Base Unit. |
| The ATLAS 550 has three types of slots: network slots, option module slots, |
| and resource module slots. The two network slots are designated NTW1 and |
| NTW2. The four option module slots are designated SLT1 through 4, and the |
| four resource module slots are designated RSC1 through 4. |
| Resource modules are installed onto any option module, but not onto net- |
| work modules. |
TYPE | Write security: 3; Read security: 5 |
| Displays the type of module actually installed in the slot or the type of |
| module you plan to install in the slot. TheATLAS 550 automatically detects |
| the type of module installed in each slot, and the TYPE field automatically |

| figure a unit before actually installing modules by specifying the module |
| that you want to install in each slot. |
| To use this option, navigate to the field you want to edit and press Enter. For |
| empty slots, a list of all the available module types displays. Select the one |
| you want and it displays in the TYPE field. If this field is already configured |
| with a module, you can only set this field to EMPTY. |

| you must set this field to EMPTY before selecting another module |
| type. |
