STEP 1: Dinstar Network Settings

The Default IP address and Login credentials of Brand new Dinstar Gateways are

192.168.11.1

username: admin

password: admin.

The very first step is to change the IP address to you local network address

There are couple of ways to change this IP in dinstar gateway

1. Attach a PC assigned with with same subnet IP (ie:192.168.11.2/24) either directly to the dinstar gateway of connect both in an existing LAN network and access the web utility of the dinstar gateway ie: https://192.168.11.1/
Note: the existing LAN should not be 192.168.11.0 /24 network.

2. Second options , You can connect you PC to the Dinstar Serial port via a RS232 cable and connect to the console to change the Network settings

3. Third Option , you can insert a GSM SIM in one of the Port in Dinstar and Dial in the GSM number ,followd to the IVR enter below Feature codes to change the IP

IP *152*192*168*1*123#

Subnet *154*255*255*255*0#

Gateway *156*192*168*1*1#

Restart *111#

As per this Tutorial we will use the Option 1 ,

Now use your favorite browser ,browse the Dinstar gateway IP that is
https://192.168.11.1/
use the credentials admin/admin

Navigate to the Menu :

Network Configuration > Local Network

Now change the IP address ,Subet and Gateway IP.

Followed to that restart the device once and access the device with the new IP address

STEP 2: Dinstar SIP Server & SIP Trunk settings

Before we proceed with Step 2 ,we need the below details
1. SIP serverip ,that is Asterisk server IP
2. SIP Port, default 5060 ,if it is different need the same.

Navigate to

Call Configuration > SIP Configuration

under > SIP Proxy > SIP server address

enter the Asterisk server IP address

next Under > Outbound Proxy > Outbound Proxy Address

Enter the same Asterisk server IP Address

Figure 3:

Dinstar SIP Trunk Settings

Next we need to Create SIP trunk in Dinstar Gateway.

Navigate to

Call Configuration > SIP Trunk Configuraiton

Click Add button to add a new SIP trunk

Now enter below details

Index      :1

IP             : Asterisk sever IP (1902.168.29.226)

Port       : 5060

Description: vicidial

STEP 3: Dinstar PORT Grouping

In this Step we are going to group all the GSM ports into single group or channel,so the asterisk will dial in bulk and dinstar will dial in ascending order in each GSM ports.

Navigate to :

Call Configuration > Port Group Configuration

Index	1
Description	SIMGROUP
SIP User ID
Authenticate ID
Authenticate Password
To VOIP Hotline	30003000
To PSTN Hotline
Register to	Sip-trunk-1<vicidial>
Select mode	Ascending
Ports	Select All ports you want to group

STEP 4: Dinstar Outbound & Inbound Routing

Next we need to create Oubound and Inbound routing in Dinstar to make and receive calls

In Dinstar the outbound route is under > IP > Tell Routing section

and for inbound route is > under Tel -> IP routing.

Outbound Routing

Navigate to :

Call Configuration > IP -> Tell Routing

Then Add the below details

Operation	Single
Index	1
Description	Outbound
Source	Sip-trunk-1<vicidial>
Destination	Port-group-1<simgroup>
Call Restriction	Allow Call

Figure 6

Inbound Routing

Navigate to :

Call Configuration > TEL -> IP Routing

Then Add the below details

Index	1
Description	Inbound
Source	Port-group-1<simgroup>
Destination	Sip-trunk-1<vicidial>
Call Restriction	Allow Call

STEP 4: Vicidial/Asterisk SIP Trunk and Dialplan

Now we are all set in Dinstar configuration, now we need to create SIP trunk /carrier and dialplan in asterisk to dialout and dial in.

In Your asterisk or vicidial use the below SIP trunk configuration
either enter in sip.conf or admin> carriers in gui

[dinstar]

host=192.168.29.213 ;---this is dinstar IP

type=friend

context=trunkinbound

disallow=all

allow=aulaw,alaw,gsm

insecure=port

dtmfmode=rfc2833

DialPlan
For vicidial outbound dialplan

exten => _9X.,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1/call_log)

exten => _9X.,n,Dial(SIP/dinstar/${ETEN:1},,Tto)

exten => _9X.,n,Hangup()

For Asterisk

exten => _9X.,1,Dial(SIP/dinstar/${ETEN:1},,Tto)

exten => _9X.,n,Hangup()

For inbound

In Vicidial Create a DID as 3000300

or use below dialplan in asterisk

[trunkinbound]

exten => 30003000,1,Answer()

exten => 30003000,n,Dial(SIP/1001)

exten => 30003000,n,Hangup()
