About Dinstar GSM Gateway:

The DINSTAR GSM/CDMA gateway enables providers to directly originate/terminate calls
from/to local GSM networks. It is a cost-effective SIP/GSM gateway for SOHO, SMEs and
system integrators, and also opens up new revenue generating opportunities for service providers. This document is suitable for following products:

•  DWG2000B GSM/CDMA VoIP Gateway
•  DWG2000C GSM/CDMA VoIP Gateway
•  DWG2000E GSM/CDMA VoIP Gateway
•  DWG2000F GSM/CDMA VoIP Gateway
•  DWG2000G GSM/CDMA VoIP Gateway

Step1 : Initial Configurations of GSM gateway 

Power on the GSM Gateway and connect the gateway to the Network. By default the Dinstar Gateway is pre-assigned with IP : 192.168.11.1. Make sure this default IP should not have conflict with your existing network. Assign 192.168.11.2/255.255.255.0 to your PC and connect this gateway to your lan via a LAN cable.

• Now open a browser and type  http://192.168.11.1
• The default username and password is  admin/admin

Once you are logged in, Click the Quick Config option from the Left pane, in the quick config we will be assigning a new IP and SIP server IP details. In the quick-config network settings page change the default IP to a static from your network. For this guide i am assigning 192.168.1.222

Now browse http://192.168.1.222

Step 7 : Create a SIP Peer in Asterisk
Log in to your Asterisk server in Command line ie:ssh the server
Goto  vi /etc/asterisk/sip.conf
and create a peer as show below at last line

[gsm222]
username=gsm222
secret=dinstar
host=dynamic
type=friend
disallow=all
allow=all
qulify=yes
dtmfmode=auto
context=trunkinbound

• save the file and exit.
• go to asterisk cli (asterisk -vvvvvr)
• type  sip reload
• now check whether the gsm gateway is registered by typing sip show peers , it will show OK.

DialPlan

• Now we need to create a dialplan to dial via GSM gateway
• Below is the dialplan for asterisk and vicidial /goautodial

Plain Asterisk PBX

go to vi /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
under default context use the below dialplan to make outgoing calls via gsm gateway
[default]
exten => _9X.,1,Dial(SIP/gsm222/${EXTEN:1})
exten => _9X.,2,Hangup

To receive incomming create a new context and dialplan
[trunkinbound]
exten => 1234,1,Answer()
exten => 1234,2,Dial(SIP/100)

For Vicidial / Goautodial
you can either write the dialplan in gui or in command line, i prefer command line
vi /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
under the default context type for outbound

[default]
exten => _9X.,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/call_log)
exten => _9X.,2,Dial(SIP/gsm222/${EXTEN:2},,tTo)
exten => _9X.,3,Hangup

For inbound create A New DID 1234 in admin page and set your desired DID route.
