Auto Detection of Key Expansion Modules

You can configure a new phone to auto-detect the maximum number of key expansion modules that it supports.
For these phones, the Number of Units field shows the maximum number of key expansion modules that the
phone supports as the default value. When a user adds key expansion modules to these phones, the module
lights up and is enabled automatically. Default value of this field is 2 for Cisco IP Phone 8851 and 3 for Cisco
IP Phone 8861. Navigate to Admin Login > Advanced > Voice > Att Console to check the value of the
Number of Units field.
Make sure that the screws are fully inserted into the phone and tightened.
