Sending X10 commands witk M1G

Hope someone can point me in the right direction on how to control X-10 using my Elk M1G. I am trying to send an X-10 command to control lighting. I have connected a XM10E, (220V version of PSC05) to M1G and to 220V power. I have written a rule to dim the light to 30% to test the setup. If I connect the XM10E to Ocelot the light dims fine so problem must be the way I have set it up in Elk. What are the correct values for the Format, Type and Future columns in the Lighting section of ElkRP for this application (X-10)? If my setup is incorrect what is needed to send X-10 commands with Elk. Cant seem to find any info on the Web on how to do it. Thanks for your time.
 
Make sure JP2 on the M1 is in the two way setting. The telephone cord from the PSC05 must be wired according to the diagram in the M1 instruction manual. You have a 50/50 chance of being wrong. The wrong wiring will not work.

Set up the lighting device as a standard module in ELKRP lighting setup. Write a rule to control the light. I have not used the 220VAC version of the PSC05 but if it is compatible with the PSC05 there should be no problem. I suppose everything is on the same phase with 220VAC operation so no phase coupler required as with a 120VAC electrical system.
 
Thanks Spanky for usual prompt response, my wiring was wrong. Working fine now except that the TS07 does not allow me to dim the light it just jumps from 0% to 100%.?
