the back.
Connect the first GXP EXT to the GXP2120/2110 using the connection cable found in the GXP Extension
package. The first GXP EXT draws power directly from the phone. Connect the second GXP Extension unit
using the connection plate and the connection cable. The GXP2120/2110 will automatically reboot and
power up the GXP Extensions. Grandstream recommends, though not required, to use a separate power
supply with the second GXP EXT.
