Not sure where to go with this

What I have :

3cx PBX with 1 SIP Line on a PC
3cx Extensions on Mobile
a PSTN Landline on a DECT phone setup
&
A Skype line to PC / Laptop used with Headset


What I want

SKYPE ->
PSTN -> pbx system -> DECT Phones round house
SIP Line ->


The old dect system ( PSTN ) is knackered and needs replaced

So do I buy a Linksys 3102 Gate way thing and some new Normal Dect Phones
DO I but a N300IP and Bundle of Gigaset A510H phones

or

Something elese



This is a home system to be purchased and based in UK.
 
If you are going to be using the BT landline (PSTN) then you will need a gateway of some sort. The SPA3102 will do the job and give you a single line ATA as well. That ATA (FXS port) is where you can plug in your DECT phone.

Skype can be brought in as a trunk using the 3CX Skype gateway and you can still use a 3CX phone on your laptop if desired.
 
I have no pobs getting the SIP & the Skype into 3cx its making calls on a real Dect hand set rather than the soft phone that is the bit I cant get my head round.

How do I link a Dect Phone to 3cx ?
 
If you are talking about an analogue DECT phone (the type you would use buy at Dixons to use directly with a regular BT landline), then you need an ATA (Analogue telephone Adapter). There are a number of makes/models to choose from , single line, two line, and up. If you need to bring A BT PSTN line in to 3CX (as a trunk), you will also need a Gateway, and, as I've said, the 3102 has both a gateway, and an ATA, in one box.

If you just need an ATA, for the DECT set, then there are less expensive alternatives.
