This explains the most basic configuration:

(1) Server IP address binding

Server Setup---->IP Binding-----> Click the ' + ' on the right side of IP address, enter the IP addresses of the servers to be bound under Edit IP adress----->apply----> Pending Changes

(2) New hanging contact

Create a new hanging contact

Click the ' + ' behind mount point desription
