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.
