• the IP addresses of the PARTNER Messaging module and the PC running
PARTNER Messaging Release 1.0 System Administration to be in the
same IP domain. You can either change the default IP address of the
PARTNER Messaging module to be in the same IP domain as the PC, or
change the IP address of the PC to be in the same IP domain as the
PARTNER Messaging module.

I would also add that if you do not have a 355A adapter to connect to the serial port to set the IP address, and don't want to purchase one just for this task, modem into the Auto Attendant, and dial "**3" at the AA prompt. This will transfer you to the internal modem; hit return and proceed as if connected direct.
