Adding Sidecars With The Hotkey Builder

Many users require more line key options on their desk phones. You can easily attach the Polycom VVX Expansion Module or the Polycom Color Expansion Module to any Polycom desk phone to instantly add 40 or 28 illuminated programmable line keys.

Never change the 1st line option. 

Line appearance should ALWAYS be number 1 in the builder. Do not touch this, as it can disrupt your phone's configuration.
