Well. Thanks to everyone's help I am up and running. Spent a few hours stumped as to why DHCP wasn't working and why phones would register, even with static IP's....then I learned about DBMS saved.
Turns out the software is a bit old. ICP 9, but it will do for a learning system.
Now I've got some sets programmed, voicema ports and hunt group set, just waiting on a few ATAs to arrive so I can get some trunks setup (no SIP license trunk, having to do SIP --> analog)
