How To Use Buddy Lists - Polycom Soundpoint IP 550 Quick Reference Manual

Your 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 other
phones or 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 other phones.
