Many thanks all,

I have IP scanned and the 3102 doesnt show up (possibly because its in
transparent bridge mode??) so I cant access it! Using the voice menu on the
phone and asking for its IP gives it as 192.168.0.21, but its not there!!

I have just made two VOIP calls as-is, so its working fine, but i can't
configure any PSTN dial plans, so looks like a factory reset is in order and
begin again!! Most annoying.

Tim..
