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.
The Second Expansion Console can be connected to a 60-Key Expansion Console that is connected to an
ESI 60 Business Phone (any model), ESI 40 Business Phone (any model), or a 48-Key Feature Phone (any
model). If connecting only one Expansion Console to one of these phone models, see “60-Key Expansion
Console connection,” page A.11; the Second Expansion Console connects to the 60-Key Expansion
Console and cannot connect directly to the ESI phone.
1. Unplug the line cord or Ethernet cable from your ESI phone.
If it’s an ESI IP phone with a power supply plugged into it, unplug the power supply, too.
2. The Second Expansion Console
1
includes an expansion
“Y” cable (right)
2
. Lay out the cable across the back of
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 your ESI phone
(below).
4. 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 phone (press
PROG/HELP 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
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 ESI phone.
If you unplugged a power supply in step 1, plug it back in, as well.

It’s physically identical to a 60-Key Expansion Console; consult your Installer if you have trouble determining which one it is.
