2.Enter the IP address of the default gateway using the DDN format. For example: 134.141.79.121

3.Press ENTER. If the default gateway entered is a valid format, the cursor returns to the beginning of the Default Gateway field. If the entry is not valid, the screen displays “INVALID DEFAULT GATEWAY OR FORMAT ENTERED”. Local Management does not alter the current value, but it does refresh the Default Gateway field with the previous value.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command.

5.Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays at the top of the screen.
