ADDING SIDECARS WITH THE HOTKEY BUILDER

Many users need more line key options. 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 the configuration of your phone.
