The "Vantage Connect Expansion Module" is the app that displays the user's programmable buttons (yes, the name is rubbish and makes people think its an extra bit of hardware).
It can be run on the same Vantage phone as the user's Vantage Connect app and both apps have buttons that make it easy to switch between the two. If you have any spare Vantage units lying round, they can run additional copies of the button app for the same user (doesn't need to register to the switch so doesn't need to register as phone).
Its officially supported with the R11.1 SP1, including the necessary extra lines in the auto-generated 46xxsettings file.
I played with it as part of the service pack testing and it worked quite well.
... and its supported plain simple 'Dial' (missing from Avaya's list) so you can setup buttons that match shortcodes in order to have a much wider range of features.
Revisiting this thread. I finally updated to R11.1 SP1 and would like to utilize more buttons on my K175.
I have updated the K1xxSupgrade.txt file as follows:

SET PUSH_APPLICATION AvayaConnectExpansionModule_2.2.0.5.0005_181120_b29d8be.apk
GOTO END
# END
GET 46xxsettings.txt
Under my Extension Drop Down I see that I can enable "Expansion Module" however I do not see the app get installed.
The phone appears to pull the files:
