My dialplan.xml looks like:

<DIALTEMPLATE>
 	<TEMPLATE
 		MATCH="#..."
 		TIMEOUT="5"
 		USER="Phone"
 		/>
 	<TEMPLATE
 		MATCH="*"
 		TIMEOUT="5"
 		USER="Phone"
 		/>
 	<TEMPLATE
 		MATCH="1.........."
 		TIMEOUT="0"
 		TONE="Bellcore-Alerting"
 		USER="Phone"
 		/>
</DIALTEMPLATE>

It seems to work OK with my Asterisk server.

Telnet into the phone and enter "show config"

Do defaultgw, outbound_proxy, outbound_proxy_port, proxy1_address, 
proxy1_port, proxy_register, timer_register_expires seem reasonable?
