Updating Your Presence Settings - Polycom WX 1500 User Manual

Polycom VVX 1500 Business Media Phone User Guide
A Buddy Status list is a list of users/devices whose status, or "presence," is shown. Users update their
presence setting (for example, "Be right back," "Out to lunch," or "Busy"), and you can view their status in
real time from your phone's Buddy Status screen, or from the idle screen (if your buddy has a Speed Dial
Key on your phone). If you like, you can block others from monitoring your status.
You can watch the status of up to eight other phones. These phones form your Buddy Status list. Your
phone can be monitored by up to eight other phones.
Note: You May be Able to Monitor Up to 48 Buddies
Depending on the types of phones you monitor, and how they are configured, you may be able to
monitor up to 48 buddies.
If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005, the behavior
of presence settings and Buddy Status lists is different. For more information, see
Microsoft Live Communications Server

Updating Your Presence Settings

Your presence setting indicates your status (either online, busy, be right back, away, out to lunch, offline,
or do not disturb). Update your presence setting so that other users can monitor your status from their
phones.
When you select a presence setting other than Online, the setting scrolls under the time display on the
status bar on your phone.
To update your presence settings:
1 Do one of the following:

From the idle screen, tap the My Status soft key.

Tap
2 From the My Status screen, tap the status you want, and then tap the Select soft key.
This affects information sent to phones watching you. Presence information will also be sent to
watching phones when you go off-hook or enable Do Not Disturb.
3 Tap
The status you selected displays on the status bar (unless you selected Online).
The following figure shows what the touch screen looks like when you assign a presence status (in this
case, "Busy"). If you assign the status "Online" (the default status), the presence status doesn't display on
the screen.
