Presence Profile - Avaya 9601 Administering

Administering deskphone options
• 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 deskphone menu. You can configure the
deskphone 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.
Deskphones that are in 1XC Shared Control Mode with a 1XC soft client can control automatic
viewing. The 1XC softclient displays a pop-up 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
deskphone stores the IM conversations in the History log. Each deskphone can store IMs up to 2
MB. If a user logs out of a deskphone and logs back into a different deskphone, the IM history is not
available.
Note:
IM and Presence are not supported if two deskphones are configured to use the same
extension through Multi Device Access (MDA).

Presence profile

Presence profile is a part of the communication profile of a user. Presence profile is configured in
User Profile Management of Avaya Aura
presence servers, presence profile explicitly associates a user with a presence server instance. The
46xxsettings file supports the use of only one presence server address. Using presence profile is an
efficient method to ensure that a user is connected to the appropriate presence server. For
information about configuring a presence profile, see Administering Avaya Aura
Services.
