Question Boeing Auto-throttle settings

Folks,

I undertstand that with an Airbus, you have a number of thrust gates, for IDLE, CLIMB, FLEX and TOGA. And the FLEX gate is variable thrust, depending on the settings the pilot enters into the flight computer.

How do you provide the same facilities on a modern Boeing? Is it all done through a different settings in the flight computer, or are there some magic buttons somewhere that give you the different settings?
