Instant Message and Presence Contacts
Instant message and presence (IM&P) contacts display their presence information. You can see if the person
is available, busy, or unavailable, or if the person does not want to be disturbed.
You use the UC-One Communicator to manage your lists of contacts. Your phone gets your lists of contacts
from the UC-One Communicator server.
When you use the phone, the phone sends status information to the UC-One Communicator.
