In the movie there was no dialing device. From the clip above it looks like they had drivers for the ring. Dr. Daniel Jackson said he could get them home if they went through the gate. When they got there he said he needed the correct symbols which were later located in a cave. There was no dialing device on the other end.

They did the dialing from the above Gateroom office seen at the back of this picture .

Yeah, I saw them take apart the dialing device and there was a large ruby looking crystal inside of it under the round red/orange object. I'm not clear who built them possibly the Ancient Builder Race. In another episode I saw them turn a gate parallel to the ground and a ship dumped some commodity into it which I thought was clever.

The 'Ancients' built them but then there are rumours that they got that technology from a previous race of builders.
