Default Connecting Mixer to Mbox

Hey,
I'm new and having trouble using my mixer. I've recently got a soundcraft EPM8 mixer which I'm trying to connect to my mbox.

So far I have the MBOX line Outputs going to the mixer in tracks 7 & 8,
Guitar, Vocal mic and a Roland TD8 each taking another 3 tracks...
The monitors are Connected to the AUX Out 1&2 and I've pressed in the AUX master buttons and the PFL buttons on the individual tracks.

I can see signal from everything in the PFL lights and I can hear everything ok but can't seem to get a signal to light up on any audio tracks within pro-tools? The stereo 1 & 2 tracks also don't seem to be used.

I'm sure it's something simple but I just don't really understand mixers. Have I connected everything right? There is nothing connected to the Source 1 & 2 inputs on the Mbox...any ideas? Thanks

There's your problem. If you want to get sound into your MBox you must connect signals to its inputs.
