Turn on RPID generation in your AS5300, and then set "trustrpid=yes" in 
the SIP user entry for the gateway in Asterisk.

Play with the 'progressinband' setting in Asterisk to see if you can 
affect this; it has three settings 'yes', 'no', and 'never'. It's likely 
that what is happening is that Asterisk is sending '180 Ringing' and the 
AS5300 is not generating ringback itself or asking the switch on the 
other end of the PRI to do it (or farther up the PSTN chain).
