          Figure 7-13.  Neighbor Gateways 

Use this screen, and the screens that follow it, to identify to your node
the gateways on your network.  Use the fields and the function keys of
this select screen to perform the desired action.

   *   To identify a new gateway, specify the gateway name; then press
       the [Add] function key.  The path for the selected gateway name is
       added to the configuration file, and the data screen on the path
       is displayed.You may configure up to 14 gateways under an NI.

   *   To modify an existing gateway configuration, specify the gateway
       name; then press the [Modify] function key.  The data screen on
       the path for the specified gateway is displayed. 

   *   To change the gateway name of an existing gateway, specify the
       gateway name and a new name; then press the [Rename] function key.
       The previously configured name is replaced, and the screen
       displays the new name in a display field under the label
       Configured Gateways. 

   *   To delete an existing gateway, specify the gateway name; then
       press the [Delete] function key.  Press the [Delete] function key
       again to confirm the deletion.  The previously configured name is
       deleted and is no longer displayed in a display field under the
       label Configured Gateways. 

From this screen you proceed to the screen used to configure network
numbers of all networks reachable from this gateway node.

Fields 

Gateway name          Enter a name to represent a gateway on this X.25
                      network through which one or more remote networks
                      can be reached.  A gateway name can contain as many
                      as eight alphanumeric characters; the first
                      character must be alphabetic.  The gateway name is
                      not the same as the node name of the gateway,
                      however you can use the node name to make it easier
                      to identify the gateway.

New name              (Required only when renaming an existing gateway.)
                      Enter a gateway name to represent a neighbor
                      gateway.  This new gateway name is used in place of
                      the current gateway name for an existing gateway
                      configuration.  The name can contain as many as
                      eight alphanumeric characters.  The first character
                      must be alphabetic.
