Cisco IP Phone 8800 Key Expansion Module

A key expansion module allows you to add extra line appearances or programmable buttons to your phone.

The programmable buttons can be set up as phone line buttons, speed-dial buttons, or phone feature buttons.

Simplified dialing is not supported on the expansion modules.

The following table describes the number of Key Expansion Modules supported by each model in the Cisco

IP Phone 8800 Series.

Table 1: Key Expansion Module Support

2 key expansion modules with 72 buttons8851 and 8851NR

3 key expansion modules with 108 buttons8861, 8865, and 8865NR

When multiple key expansion modules are attached to the phone, they are numbered according to the order

in which they are connected to the phone. For example:

• Key expansion module 1 is the closest unit to the phone.

• Key expansion module 2 is the unit in the middle.

• Key expansion module 3 is the farthest unit from the phone.
