Hi there.
Is it possible to connect with the linksys SPA9000 to the 3CX (Ore the 3CX to the SPA9000)
I like to get rid of the SPA9000 but I need to use the 2 FXO ports. Nothing else.
OK I can buy an couple 3102 or so, but this one is still in my pocket.
Is here an solution?
Thank you.

Hi Ferry,
I thought I'd go and take a look at the manual for the 9000 to see if I could offer any specific advice on how to get your 2x FXO ports connected. What I discovered when reading the fantastic manual (rtfm) is that the 9000 doesn't appear to have any FXO ports. The manual claims that it has 2x FXS ports.
At the risk of sounding patronising (not my intention);
FXO = port for connecting telephone line (socket on the wall) to make and receive calls via a traditional telco
FXS = port to connect to an analog telephone handset
Is there an earlier version of the 9000 that contains fxo ports?
If the 9000 contained a couple of fxo ports then I'd say it would be worth trying to configure it with 3cx. For 2x fxs ports I'd suggest ebay. While it's probably possible to configure the 9000 to connect 2x handsets to your 3cx system, I'd doubt that it's worth battling against it for this.

PS: If you also have an spa-400 then it's possible to get this working (though the setup wasn't intuitive) with 3cx. I'd not recommend purchasing one for this purpose as it's not a supported device but if you have one already it can be made to go.
