Yes it's quite similar, just be aware that unlike the Polycoms, if you
page a phone (auto answer header) that is in a conversation the SPAs
will put the current call on hold and take the auto answered phone,
therefore before paging an SPA make sure to use app_chanisavail first.

Don't know, I never tried it, but IIRC the web page to the SPA configs
has a tab for that.

For the price it's great, but it's not the best, in my opinion it's
acceptable quality. It's not as good as the Cisco which is worst than
the Polycoms. I would say it's around as good as the Aastras
