Use this screen, and the screens that follow it, to identify
the gateways on this 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

the label Configured Gateways.
From this screen you proceed to the screen used to configure
