Administering Presence

Presence overview

Presence is a feature that indicates the availability status of a contact. The phone periodically
publishes its own presence status and retrieves the presence status of a contact from Avaya
®
Aura Presence Services.
Presence services facilitates aggregation of presence information collected from the following
resources:
• Application Enablement ServicesServices
• Microsoft Office
• eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) Server
Presence services categorizes users into two types:
• Watcher: A user who is viewing the presence status.
• Presentity: A contact whose presence status is being viewed. Presentity is also referred to
as Buddy.
A user can simultaneously be a Watcher and Presentity.
Users can manually set their own presence through the phone menu. You can configure the
phone to use the Send All Calls (SAC) feature when the user sets the Do Not Disturb (DND)
status.
Access Control List
The Access Control List specifies whether other users on the network can view the presence of
another user. By default, users can automatically see the presence of other users. You can disable
the automatic viewing by setting the PRESENCE_ACL_CONFIRM parameter in the 46xxsettings
file.
The phones that are in 1XC Shared Control Mode with a 1XC soft client can control automatic
viewing. The 1XC softclient displays a popup window to the presentity that prompts whether to
allow or to restrict the display of the presence information.
Instant Messaging
Instant Messaging (IM) is available to the user if the Presence feature is operational, and the SIP
signaling is set to TLS. Users can communicate through text messages by using this feature. The
phone stores the IM conversations in the History log. Each phone can store IMs up to 2 MB. If a
user logs out of a phone and logs back into a different phone, the IM history is not available.
