Polycom 1725-16824-001 manual Using Buddy Lists, Updating Your Presence Settings

User Guide for the Polycom VVX 1500 D Phone

Using Buddy Lists

Note	Monitoring the status (presence) of contacts is an optional feature that your system
	administrator enables. Your system may not support it. For more information,
	contact your system administrator.

	A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status, or “presence,” you can
	monitor. Users update their presence setting (for example, “Be right back,”
	“Out to lunch,” or “Busy”), and you can view their status in real time from
	your phone’s Buddy Status screen, or from the idle screen (if your buddy has
	a Speed Dial Key on your phone). If you like, you can block others from
	monitoring your status.
	Your phone can “watch” the status of up to eight other phones. These phones
	form your “Buddy List.” Your phone can be monitored by up to eight other
	phones.
Note
	Depending on the types of phones you monitor, and how they are configured, you
	may be able to monitor up to 48 buddies.
	If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Office Live
	Communications Server 2005, the behavior of presence settings and buddy
	lists is different. For more information, see Integrating With Microsoft Live
	Communications Server 2005 on page 4-14, or contact your system
	administrator.

Updating Your Presence Settings

Your presence setting indicates your status (either online, busy, be right back, away, out to lunch, offline, or do not disturb). Update your presence setting so that other users can monitor your status from their phones.
