Using Extension Boards and MPKs
Users have also the ability to set presence watcher on phone MPKs (Multi-purpose Keys), and connected
Extension Boards.

Physical Multi-Purpose Keys. For instance, GXP2130 / GXP2160 / GXP1628 are offering physical MPKs,

six available Presence Statuses will have the following LED states when using MPKs:
