EXP100 Setup
Overview
The Sangoma EXP100 Expansion Module is used to extend the functionality of Sangoma Phones by providing programmable hard keys to be used for things like BLF (Busy Lamp Field), speed-dial, call transfer, extensions..etc. This allows users to deliver single-button access to contacts / extension. The EXP100 can be physically attached to the Sangoma phone, standalone beside the phone or wall mounted. Connect up to 6 EXP100s to add up to 240 programmable keys (up to 50 can be BLFs).
Supported Phones
The EXP100 Expansion Module is supported on Sangoma S500 and S700 IP Phones.

If the EHS port on your Sangoma Phone is already occupied by an EHS adaptor, you will not be able to provide power to your EXP100 in this way. You will need to, instead, plug the Power Adapter (sold separate) directly into the power port on the EXP100 |
