I just did something similar.  I added these lines to /etc/asterisk/sip.conf:

; Grandstream
[1001]
type=friend
host=dynamic

; cisco phone
[1002]
type=friend
host=dynamic


Then I added these lines to /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf
exten => 1001,1,Dial(SIP/1001,200,tr)
exten => 1002,1,Dial(SIP/1002,200,tr)

My phones register as phone numbers 1001 and 1002.  There may be
a better way to do it, but with this config I was able to make
calls...
