Here is how I have ours set up (with  3k's Chris Bartram's help):
 
In NMMGR press the following function keys:
 
Open Config
NS
UNGUIDED
NETXPORT
NI
MODIFY (This is after selecting your LAN interface, usually LAN1)
INTERNET
 
Then add a gateway (we use the name format of IP### where ### is the
last of the dotted quad of the router that this gateway is looking at
(in other words, your cisco router).
 
In the next screen, the field in the top left should be the address of
the cisco router (same network as yours, ie 192.23.1.253 if your network
is 192.23.1.x).  This is the neighbor gateway.  Under the next heading
"Configured Reachable Networks" ....wait a second.  Instead of flipping
between screens and typing in what I see, let's just cut and paste....
 
explination continues after screen....
 
Path:  NETXPORT.NI.LAN1.INTERNET.IP253
 
 
[C 192.023.001 253]  Neighbor Gateway IP Internet Address
 
                        Configured Reachable Networks

         [                 ]     [               ]     [     ]

The IP network address of "@" makes the 192.23.1.253 the "default"
gateway.  The subnet is your standard class "C" subnet.  I have allways
used the value of "1" for the number of hops.
 
After this is saved and validated, you need to enter the MPE command:
 
:NETCONTROL NET=LAN1;UPDATE=INTERNET
 
where LAN1 is the name of your network interface (NI).
 
Hope that helps.
