(ASCEND) Filters question



   According to my manmual, the path to follow to set up a filter on a
P75 is:

Ethernet > Filters > _any_profile_ > Input Filters > 01 to 12 > Ip

   If I go to Ethernet, one of my options is Filters.  If I go to
Filters, I am supposed to see a list of profiles.  According to the
manual, you apply the filter by specifying which profile it is in
from inside the connection profile.  These are supposed to be whole
numbers.  Thus, I should see a list of whole numbers when I go to
Ethernet > Filters.  Instead, going to Ethernet > Filters produces:

20-400 Filters
 20-401 IP Call
 20-402 NetWare Call
 20-403 AppleTalk Call

    Well, I am trying to set up an IP filter, so I select IP Call.
This brings up

20-401 IP Call
 Name=IP Call
 Input filters...
 Output filters...

    This is what is supposed to show up after I select up a Profile number.
If I keep going, I complete setting up an IP filter that does something
really simple: it blocks ICMP traffic with a certain source address. If I
put this in slot 01 (this number being chosen two levels lower than the
manual says), and then set the Data Filter to '1' in my connection profile,
then I end up blocking ALL IP traffic, ICMP or otherwise.

    What am I doing wrong???
