Presence / Status / Buddy Lists

The SoundPoint IP 500 SIP telephone combines interactive message services and status monitoring to complement a tradi- tional messaging application such as email. Live interaction within a pool of telephones is possible by measuring the “presence” of the parties involved.

To add, delete, or block a contact from your buddy list:

1.Press ConferenceDirectories from the idle display.

2.Select Contact Directories and scroll up or down to the desired contact.

3.Press the Edit soft key.

4.Scroll down to the Watch Buddy and/or Block Buddy fields.

5.Press Del to switch between Enable and Disable status.

6.Press Save to confirm and Exit twice to return to the idle display.

The application software running on the telephone is compatible with Windows™ and MSN Messenger™ for peer-to-peer presence and instant messaging.

Each telephone can “watch” the status of up to eight other telephones. Each telephone can also be “watched” by up to eight other telephones. The status of monitored users is displayed and updated in real time. This pool of up to eight tele- phones is referred to as a “Buddy List”.

To change settings, access the Presence menu as follows:

1. Press

Menu

followed by Pres-

ence.
