Using Buddy Lists

Updating Your Presence Settings

A buddy list is a list of users/devices whose status, or presence, you can
monitor. Users update their presence setting (for example, "Be right back",
"Busy", or "Out to lunch"), and you can view their status in real-time from
your phone.
Your phone can "watch" the status of up to eight other phones or 48 buddies.
These other phones form your "buddy list". Your phone displays the status of
your buddies in real time. Your phone can be "watched" by up to eight other
phones.
If your SoundPoint IP 550/560 phone is configured to work with Microsoft
Live Communications Server 2005, the behavior of the presence setting and
buddy lists is different. For more information, refer to
Microsoft Live Communications Server 2005
If your phone is configured to work with Microsoft Lync Server 2010, the
behavior of the presence setting and buddy lists is different. For more
information, refer to Integrating With Microsoft Lync Server 2010
To view and change your presence settings:
1. Do one of the following:
— Press
Select Features > Presence > My Status.
— Press the MyStat soft key.
2. Scroll through the list, and then press the Select soft key to select your
new status.
