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

 

defaults to the installed module type. You can also use this field to precon-

 

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.

 

 

 

TYPE automatically displays the name of an installed module. If

 

you want to preconfigure the slot for a different type of module,

 

you must set this field to EMPTY before selecting another module

 

type.

MENU

 

Displays additional status and configuration menus for the ATLAS 550 or

 

selected module. To access the submenus for this item, use the arrow keys to
