Second Expansion Console connection
Notes:
Your Installer or System Administrator must enable Expansion Console support for your extension before
you can use one or both Expansion Consoles.
If connecting only one Expansion Console to a 48-Key Feature Phone, see “60-Key Expansion
Console connection,” page A.8.
The Second Expansion Console connects to the 60-Key Expansion Console and
cannot
connect
directly to the 48-Key Feature Phone (which is the only phone to which you can connect a 60-Key
Expansion Console).
1.
Unplug the line cord or Ethernet cable from your 48-Key Feature Phone.
If it’s an IP Feature Phone II with a power supply plugged into it, unplug the power supply, too.
2.
The Second Expansion Console
1
includes an
expansion
“Y” cable
(right)

the equipment so that the AC adapter is on left and the
end of the cable is on the right.
3.
Connect the
right
end of the expansion “Y” cable to the
appropriate connector on the bottom of the 48-Key
Feature Phone

. Then, connect the expansion “Y” cable’s
middle
plug to the 60-Key Expansion Console, the
left
plug to
the Second Expansion Console, and the
AC adapter
to an appropriate 110 VAC outlet to provide power to
the Second Expansion Console
(above)
.
5.
To keep cabling out of the way, thread the expansion “Y” cable into the slots on the bottom of the phone
and the two Expansion Consoles.
6.
Program the keys on the two Expansion Consoles using the same procedure as with the Digital Feature
Phone (press
PROGRAM 2
).
7.
If necessary, remove the clear
plastic
overlay from the keys on the two 60-Key Expansion Consoles.
8.
For maximum convenience, label the
paper
overlay to show how the keys are programmed (your Installer
or System Administrator can do this with ESI software).
9.
Install the labeled
paper
overlays on the two 60-Key Expansion Consoles.
10.
Install the clear
plastic
overlays
over
the paper overlays, to protect them.
11.
Use the provided Velcro
®
tape to attach the left side of the 60-Key Expansion Console to the right side of
the 48-Key Feature Phone, and the right side of the 60-Key Expansion Console to the left side of the
Second Expansion Console).
12.
Plug the line cord or Ethernet cable back into your 48-Key Feature Phone.
