[comp.protocols.appletalk] node number of gateway

Can the node number of a KFPS-2 gateway be set "manually" with Prompt2.0?
(What about KFPS-{3,4}, GatorBox flavors, versions of Prompt2.0, etc...)

I setup a KFPS-2 running KIP0688 for LANL-CNLS last summer, and have
returned to bring up the gateway again after CNLS moved into a new building,
but now my gateway information window shows 219 instead of the former 220
as the gateway's node number.  Must I settle for the gateway's choice of
node number?  Perhaps it is different because some other group at LANL
has added a KFPS box on the same ethernet.

I thought this might be of general interest or I would have queried
Kinetics directly.
