Key Expansion Module Settings on Phone
After you install one or more KEMs on the phone and configure them in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager Administration, the KEMs are automatically recognized by the Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951,
and 9971.
When multiple KEMs are attached, they are numbered according to the order in which they connect to the
phone. For example (see
Connect Two or More KEMs to Phone Using KEM Spine Connector, on page 73
):
•
Key Expansion Module 1 is the KEM closest to the phone.
•
Key Expansion Module 2 is the KEM in the middle.
•
Key Expansion Module 3 is the KEM farthest to the right.
You can select a KEM, and then choose one of the following softkeys:
•
Exit: Returns to the Applications menu.
•
Details: Provides details about the selected KEM.
•
Setup: Allows you to configure the brightness of the selected KEM. This can also be done using the
Preferences menu. For details, see the
