I believe so although problems have been reported with certain motherboards 
- best to search this list before buying.

You need to define a context for outgoing calls which will include dial 
commands for the X100P.  You then define additional contexts for local 
phones.  Only those local contexts that  "include" the outgoing context 
will be able to make outgoing calls.  Start with a "bare bones" 
extensions.conf or you'll find * very hard going.

You define that in extensions.conf.  Incoming calls will land in the 
context you specify in /etc/asterisk/zapata.conf
