lumpkin666 is on a distinguished road
It's been awhile since I have tinkered with my DM500s boxes, but you are not alone in feeling that their configuration panels are deplorable. Actually, the stock (and every other one I've tried) image doesn't even allow you to setup highly complex configurations. I had to go in and edit the files and ship em over to the box via ftp to get it to work with multiple satellites/switches/motors.

There are some 3rd party sites (no eye-patch hackers, just good guys modifying the box to work!) that will be of help to you. You might search for the PLI image site. They have been most helpful in getting my box configured.
