 install any sip client on your workstation computer
 and point it to your asterisk box IP address, you
 should hear the "welcome to asterisk ...."  message.

 I suggest visting the library or purchasing :

    Asterisk : The Future of Telephony, 2nd edition
    ISBN 10: 0-596-51048-9
    ISBN 13: 9780596510480

 and reading up a bit.

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596510480/index.html

 Specifically   /etc/asterisk/sip.conf   defines the aspects
 of SIP channles on your asterisk box along with some
 port parameters from   rtp.conf
