No, there's no additional guide.

But the process of attaching SIP phones is expected as simple as 
configuration of a mail client: you need to enter the CGpro server 
address to phone config and supply the same credentials as you would use 
for a mail client. In addition it's convenient to assign to accounts 
digital aliases (like 200 is assigned by default to the pbx account) - 
for the ease of dialing using digital keyboards of SIP phones.

Thus you get the basic capability of dialing from a user to another user.

The next step is to configure a break out to PSTN - using and external 
VoIP provider or a hardware gateway. 
<http://www.communigate.com/CommuniGatePro/PSTN.html> This depends on 
particular gateway/provider: some require registration to receive calls, 
some can be configured to send incoming to particular URIs on the CGpro 
side. For outgoing calls it's always recommended to set up calling 
through the gatewaycaller script, as described in teh manual.

That has been discontinued.

Some modifications for existing PBX scripts will be needed for this 
function.
