Using the Advanced Features of Your SoundPoint IP 330/320 Phone

Using Buddy Lists

Your SoundPoint IP 330/320 phone combines interactive message services and status monitoring to complement a traditional messaging application such as e-mail.

Live interaction within a pool of phones is possible by monitoring the “presence” of the parties involved. Your phone can “watch” the status of up to 8 other phones or 8 buddies. These other phones form your “buddy list”. The status of your buddies is displayed and updated in real time. Your phone can be “watched” by up to 8 other phones.

If your SoundPoint IP 330/320 SIP phone is configured to work with Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005, the behavior of the presence setting and buddy lists is different. For more information, contact your system administrator.
