Polycom SIP 3.0.2 manual Presence, Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 Integration

Configuring Your System

Presence

			The Presence feature allows the phone to monitor the status of other
			users/devices and allows other users to monitor it. The status of monitored
			users is displayed visually and is updated in real time in the Buddies display
			screen or, for speed dial entries, on the phone’s idle display. Users can block
			others from monitoring their phones and are notified when a change in
			monitored status occurs. Phone status changes are broadcast automatically to
			monitoring phones when the user engages in calls or invokes do-not-disturb.
			The user can also manually specify a state to convey, overriding, and perhaps
			masking, the automatic behavior.
	Note
			Notification when a change in monitored status occurs will be available in a
			subsequent release.
			The presence feature works differently when Microsoft Live Communications
			Server 2005 is used as the call server. For more information, refer to the
			following section, Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005 Integration.
			Configuration changes can performed centrally at the boot server:
Central		XML file: <Ethernet		The <bw>0</bw> (buddy watching) and <bb>0</bb> (buddy

				• For more information, refer to Local Contact Directory on page
				4-9.
Local		Local Phone User		The user can edit the directory contents. The Watch Buddy and
		Interface		Block Buddy fields control the buddy behavior of contacts.
				Changes will be stored in the phone’s flash file system and backed up
				to the boot server copy of <Ethernet address>-directory.xmlif this
				is configured. When the phone boots, the boot server copy of the
				directory, if present, will overwrite the local copy.
