60-Key Second Expansion Console connection
Notes: If connecting only one Expansion Console to an ESI phone, see “60-Key Expansion Console connection,”
page I.8.
The 60-Key Second Expansion Console connects to the 60-Key Expansion Console and cannot connect
directly to any ESI phone to which you can connect a 60-Key Expansion Console.
1. The Second Expansion Console (which
is physically identical to a 60-Key
Expansion Console) includes an
expansion “Y” cable (right)
1
.
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.
2. Connect the right end of the
expansion “Y” cable to the appropriate
connector on the bottom of the ESI phone (
below).
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Program the keys on the two Expansion Consoles using the same procedure as with the ESI phone (press
PROG/HELP 2).
6. If necessary, remove the clear plastic overlay from the keys on the two 60-Key Expansion Consoles.
7. For the customer’s convenience, label the paper overlay to show how the keys are programmed (we suggest
you use the ESI System Programmer PC software application for this).
8. Install the labeled paper overlays on the two 60-Key Expansion Consoles.
9. Install the clear plastic overlays over the paper overlays, to protect them.
10. Use the provided Velcro
®
tape to attach the left side of the 60-Key Expansion Console to the right side of
the ESI phone, and the right side of the 60-Key Expansion Console to the left side of the Second
Expansion Console).
