Acs 5.1 first timer

Question

Good day to you all, this is actually my first time configuring the acs device. I have gone through the documentations, userguide and some other stuff but cant still find my way around the box. I wan to integrate the box on our network but i'm still testing its operation in a lab. How do I configure this box to interact with the hosts? are there any configuration examples or work through guide I can use?
I have defined host and users but the host don't get authenticated by the acs box. is there anything I am supposed to do on the acs box to identify this host?
HOST CONFIGURATION.

ON ACS 5.1 BOX.
I define user, user password.
i defined the host using the mac-adress of the host.
now when i try to telnet, I get authenticated using the local database.
what am I actually supposed to do on the acs box? are there any videos or slides i can use?
PLEASE HELP

On the ACS box a few things need to be done.
1) Define the host via IP under the Identity group and selec the protocol you want to use
2) Define a policy either under default device admin for tacacs or default network access for radius
3) Add a local user to the ACS
