On power failure, yes. On ethernet cable disconnect, yes. But, when 
asterisk simply does not respond (for any reason), no.

The last part is the difficult part. There isn't any logic in the spa3k 
that would essentially ping the asterisk service to see if it responds, 
and then do some alternate action if it does not respond. (One easy way 
to confirm that is to look around the spa3k config and see if you can 
find anything that relates to sip failure fail-over, timing entries 
associated with detecting a sip failure (lack of response), etc.)
