I hate to say it but from your posts (plural) you seem like a new user. in any event this is the way i would go about answering your questions:

1. read the manual (thouroughly)
2. contact digi directly if this is concerning a new purchase. that is what cs is for.
3. when you do post here give more background on your system(s) and problems.

and propable the biggest one

4. don't whine on the posts else you could bring forth the flame gods and never get your questions answered or be taken seriously here...

just my 2 cents,
ken;
