Remote poller newbie

Hi everyone,
I'm asked to evaluate Opennms 1.12.1 in general and the Remote Poller functions in specific. I just started yesterday with this, installing and doing a first configurations. Right now I find Opennms powerfull and I like it very much.
But I can't understand how the Remote Poller is working. I'd like that the remote server would do the discovery and the relative checks.
I read the wiki but right now I just managed to make the remote machine to send ICMP echo request to all the network configured in discovery-configuration.xml and not only the remote one. And no nodes are added even if they are present on the remote network.
Can someone just point me to the right direction/documentation?
Thanks you all!

The setup
Opennms Server is an Ubuntu 12.04LTS on network 10.255.255.0/24.
Opennms Remote Poller is Ubuntu 12.04LTS on network 172.16.0.0/16.

Here the discovery-configuration.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<discovery-configuration
    xmlns="http://xmlns.opennms.org/xsd/config/discovery" threads="1"
    packets-per-second="1" initial-sleep-time="30000"
    restart-sleep-time="86400000" retries="1" timeout="2000">
    <specific retries="1" timeout="2000">10.255.239.52</specific>
    <include-range retries="1" timeout="2000">
        <begin>10.255.255.1</begin>
        <end>10.255.255.254</end>
    </include-range>
    <include-range retries="1" timeout="2000">
        <begin>172.16.1.1</begin>
        <end>172.16.255.255</end>
    </include-range>
</discovery-configuration>

Note. La 172.16.0.0 is the remote netowrk.

This is the excerpt of monitoring-locations.xml:
        <location-def location-name="SONDA "
            monitoring-area="SONDA "
            polling-package-name="SONDA"
            geolocation="Rete Remota"
            coordinates="xxxx,yyyyy" priority="50">
            <ns2:tags xmlns:ns2="http://xmlns.opennms.org/xsd/config/tags">
                <ns2:tag name="store"/>
                <ns2:tag name="production"/>
            </ns2:tags>
        </location-def>

In poller-configuration.xml I have the relative package:
<package name="SONDA " remote="true">
  <filter>IPADDR IPLIKE *.*.*.*</filter>
  <include-range begin="172.16.1.1" end="172.16.255.254"/>
  <rrd step = "300">
    <rra>RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016</rra>
    <rra>RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:4464</rra>
    <rra>RRA:MIN:0.5:12:4464</rra>
    <rra>RRA:MAX:0.5:12:4464</rra>
  </rrd>
  <service name="ICMP" interval="300000" user-defined="false" status="on">
    <parameter key="retry" value="2" />
    <parameter key="timeout" value="3000" />
    <parameter key="rrd-repository" value="/var/lib/opennms/rrd/response" />
    <parameter key="rrd-base-name" value="icmp" />
    <parameter key="ds-name" value="icmp" />
  </service>
  <outage-calendar>zzz from poll-outages.xml zzz</outage-calendar>
  <!-- 30s, 0, 5m -->
  <downtime interval="30000" begin="0" end="300000"/>
  <!-- 5m, 5m, 12h -->
  <downtime interval="300000" begin="300000" end="43200000"/>
  <!-- 10m, 12h, 5d -->
  <downtime interval="600000" begin="43200000" end="432000000"/>
  <!-- anything after 5 days delete -->
  <downtime begin="432000000" delete="true"/>
</package>
