If you have only 1 IP the PM will get it and you will have no IPs for you
local network. Best to get a subnet.

Go to http://www.livingston.com/ and go to the manuals section and downloa
dthem and take a shot. The samples are pretty good. If you then have
specifice questions people here can help you out.

Basically:

Set the ports to two way
set the ports to a dial group
set up the location
set up all needed ips and netmasks
save all and go.
