Viewing the presence status of your contacts
You can track the presence status of your mobility-enabled contacts in two ways:
• Manual (default)
• Automatic
In Manual presence status mode, you can query the status of an individual contact.
To receive automatic presence status updates, turn on the Auto Presence parameter. This enables you to
stay up-to-date with the latest status information for all of your mobility-enabled contacts.
Note: Because the Avaya 3100 MC - Client for Nokia connects to the network for every status update,
enabling Auto Presence uses extra airtime and reduces battery life.
In Manual and Automatic presence mode, you can configure alerts on contacts to inform you of a change
in their presence status.
To configure Manual presence mode, Automatic presence mode, or the time that a presence query
remains on the screen, see “Configuring IM and Presence Settings” on page28.
