Transmitting Midi Clock data in Reason Essentials to Alesis SR16 drum machine

I want to transmit midi clock data to my SR16 drum machine so that when i hit record on the transport control and get a 2 bar count in my drum machine
kicks in on time after the 2 bar count so i can record it.

I can do this in Pro Tools easy, but am really struggling for some reason in reason essentials.

Please help!

Midi problem: E-Mu 1212, Cakewalk Homestudio Alesis SR16

okay, not really one problem. I'm just completely lost. The gist, however, is this:

I want to record my SR16 in cakewalk. I want the tempo to be the same in the software and in the SR16. I don't seem to be able to get cakewalk to tell the sr16 the exact tempo (don't know the technical term). If I just set the two to the same BPM setting, the tempos are slightly off.
