When you power up you get dial tone and a pre-configured mesh network. One MP can call another by dialling the last few digits of their IPs. So for simple networks, all you need to do is turn the power on! You can even reach a gateway by dialling it's IP and then enter calling card details (pay phone billing mode as described in Alberto's posts).
