Key Expansion Modules
Key Expansion Module Configuration on Cisco Unified
Communications Manager
Key expansion modules are supported by most versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Set up the Key Expansion Module in Cisco Unified Communications Manager

Expansion modules are enabled from the Expansion Module Information area of the Phone Configuration
page on Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If you configure the expansion module incorrectly, an error
message displays on the phone. You cannot configure the phone for a dual LCD module and then install a
single LCD module. But your choice of expansion module is not permanent. You can configure another
module if your needs change.
Before you begin
As a best practice, enable power negotiation on both the switch and the phone. This ensures that the expansion
module powers up.

The Find and List Phones window appears. You can search for one or more phones that you want to configure
