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.
