Using Buddy Lists
Your SoundPoint IP 32x/33x 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 up to
8 other phones or 8 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 up to 8 other phones.
If your SoundPoint IP 32x/33x SIP 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, contact your system
administrator.
