The SPA-3000 provides an FXO interface to plug into your phone line and
an FXS interface into which you canb plug your DECT basestation.

These 2 interfaces are seen as 2 seperate endpoints by Asterisk.

Inbound PSTN calls can go to * for onward routing, to any registered
extension including the DECT phones.

So if you have 1 PSTN line and one DECT basestation you only need 1
SPA-3000.

Hope that helps

Nick.
