Correct, he'll need to provide you with the IP address, net mask, and 
gateway address that you need to configure the LanBox.

He may also need to open up TCP port 777 in the firewall to that IP 
address, or do a NAT mapping, whichever is applicable.

Yes, they are basic tasks of IP network administration.
