Presence
Presence is the ability for the end users to send their availability status to others and to track the
availability status of a set of contacts.
Presence tracking is managed by the presence server. Presence administration is dependent
on your operating environment; for example, the servers and software. For information about
administering presence in specific environments, search on "presence" at
http://
support.avaya.com.
Presence notification
Presence notification occurs only if the ENABLE_PRESENCE parameter in the 46xxsettings file
is set to 1. Additionally, if the address of the SIP proxy is different than the presence server, the
IP address of the presence server must be specified using the PRESENCE_SERVER
parameter.
The deskphone tracks and reports the following presence states:
● Contact is logged in (registered) and the line is idle
● Contact is not logged in
● Contact is sending all calls to another number
● Contact is currently on a call
● Contact is currently on a conference call
● Contact is away from the deskphone (the screen saver is on, if administered)
● Contact locked the deskphone
● The deskphone displays the page specified in the WMLIDLEURI parameter
● No presence can be tracked for this contact due to system or server differences
Presence icons are associated with each state and are described and illustrated in the
respective user guides of the deskphone models.
Note:
Note: Presence can only be enabled when SIP signaling is TLS.
Presence user interface
The deskphone provides Presence information of the contacts through the Contacts view. The
user must first subscribe to the Presence information of a particular contact to see the Presence
information for the particular contact.
