Oliver,
If I understand your question correctly, you would like to set up asterisk so
that it behaves like
an IP phone and acts as a proxy server for you grandstream bt-100 telephone at
the same time.
As far as I know, asterisk's very nature is to be like an IP phone - it can
register with other VOIP
servers just like any IP phone. At the same time it can act as a VOIP server and
other IP phones can
register with it.
I don't know about your specific setup, but it sounds as if you would like
to connect your asterisk
machine to the internet and your grandstream phone to the asterisk machine (I
use over
simplification) and you would like your asterisk machine to act as some sort of
bridge between your
phone and a voip server out on the internet.
Suppose that your entire setup only talks SIP. In that case you would need to
set up the asterisk
machine as SIP server for your IP telephone (so that your grandstream telephone
can register with
it) and as SIP client for the internet provider. The relevant configuration file
would be
/etc/sip.conf.
Suppose you want your asterisk system to speak SIP to your Grandstream telephone
and IAX to the voip
provider on the internet. You would then need to set up the asterisk machine as
SIP server for your
IP telephone (so that your grandstream telephone can register with it) and as
IAX client for the
internet provider. The relevant configuration files would be
/etc/asterisk/sip.conf and
/etc/asterisk/iax.conf
In both cases you can specify any user credentials you would like, which means
your Grandstream
phone can have its own identity (user name and password) and your asterisk
server/client can have a
different identity. The sky is the limit. You would also have to set up
extensions in the dialplan
(/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf) so that when you dial the other party (or they
call you) the
asterisk server knows what to do.
Sorry if I have oversimplified the issue or misunderstood the question. For
future queries on the
mailing list it might be good if you specify your particular network setup and
requirements in a
little bit more detail.
For example, a good way to ask could be: I would like to connect my asterisk
machine to a voip
service provider via an adsl connection and my grandstream telephone to the
asterisk machine. At the
moment I am using my grandstream phone to talk to others. Can I set up the
asterisk machine as a
proxy server so that it looks to the outside world as if I am using my
grandstream phone only? How
do I set it up? Can I specify different user names/passwords for my grandstream
phone and the
asterisk machine? Where do I find more information on that?
In other words, a good general format for a question would be:
* My setup is x (the more specific the better)
* I want to do y (again, the more specific the better)
* What do I have to do or where do I find info on that?
and don't forget "Thank you for your consideration" at the end -
politeness is important. And don't
get angry if you didn't get an (immediate) response and flame the list for
that.
Another very good tool is http://www.google.com I just tried the query
"asterisk ip phone" and
"asterisk identify as ip-phone". Try it! It is always good if you can
truthfully indicate that you
have researched on that question yourself, but did not find information. We all
are only learners.
For all information on asterisk (incl. setup questions), see

I hope this helps.
