Implementing LVS

Shared line appearance
When implementing the SPA9000 and SPA400 as a key system, the SPA9000 is connected through a
switch to one or more SPA400s, which are then connected to the existing DID lines from the PSTN. The
SPA9000 has four line interfaces, each of which can support one SPA400 or a single VoIP account with
an ITSP. A single VoIP account with an ITSP can map to multiple DID numbers assigned by the ITSP.
Each SPA400 can support up to four DID lines assigned by the PSTN, so with a SPA400 connected to
all four line interfaces, the SPA9000 can support up to 16 DID lines to the PSTN.
