I recommend against that product.  I have two that now sit on a shelf
due to bad call quality, echo issues, and random one way audio...

They are easy to setup and connect to Asterisk.  That is about the
only thing that they do well.  I purchased two of these to try and fit
within my budget, and ended up replacing them after about a month.
The call quality was sub-par, and I had all kinds of echo issues.
Firmware updates didn't seem to make anything better.  I ended up
replacing them with AudioCodes MP-124 which have been rock solid.  Of
course they cost about twice as much, but you get what you pay for.
In the long run I went way over budget, but learned a good lesson!
