9 IM and Presence
The AMC enables basic mobile presence and the ability to chat with your smartphone.
Immediately after the required settings have been configured (see infobox below), the
Online/Offline Presence Status will be displayed in the Home screen.
Required Settings
IM/Presence has to be turned On (refer to 12.7.6) and the Default IM Host
(refer to 12.7.5) has to be configured correctly on the AMC, and profiles of
XMPP Endpoints and XMPP User Accounts or SIMPLE User Accounts have
to be created on the AMCC.
9.1 Adding Contacts
The AMC will automatically make contacts available for chat (subscribe to a contact's
Presense status) if the email address of a contact matches the configured Default IM
Host. If you try to subscribe to users of the same domain with a chat client such as
Pidgin, the contact's presence status will be visible after your invitation has been ac-
cepted.
For contacts with differing email addresses, an instant messaging ID has to be config-
ured in the native phone book of your Blackberry:
To add a contact open the native Contacts directory, open a contact and click Edit.
Use a "Custom Field" to add an IM ID for a contact (see screenshot below).
Note:
Please make sure that entered email addresses pass a validity test, i.e. they
have to constist of the following: [name]@[domain].[xx]!
Most XMPP servers are case sensitive! Please make sure that email ad-
dresses are entered exactly as they are configured on the XMPP server. If
this is not the case, Presence subscriptions will most likely fail!
Adding users from other domains
If a contact's IM ID belongs to a different domain, this ID has to be set as a
"Custom" field (see screenshots of the native Contacts above). The Black-
berry address book gives you the possibility to rename this field, which might
be helpful to improve the usability of the IM and Presence service.
