I can set the SIPHeader there an ring the local phone (2000) via "Dial", the local phone takes the call automatically, fine.

You have to learn about the local channel and how to use that from Originate. I think that's covered in the Asterisk book, downloadable from asteriskdocs.org and in many examples on the web.

Secondly, this mailing list is for Asterisk development - new code and issues with the Asterisk code. Your questions would get a faster and better answer on asterisk-users. Even if it's about development, it's about development of your own app, not about Asterisk.

Good luck in your Asterisk adventures!
