Nortel Networks AS 5300 User Manual

Personal Agent User Guide

When an address is required in a procedure, enter either a Session Initiation 
Protocol (SIP) address or a telephone number. A SIP address is a unique identifier 
of users on the IP network. The SIP address has the same format as an e-mail 
address, for example, jdoe@lab1.org, but it is not an e-mail address. The network 
can identify where you are and route your calls by tracking your SIP address when 
you sign in to any Multimedia PC Client, Nortel IP Phone.

To make it easier to place calls, you can store addresses (SIP addresses or 
telephone numbers) in your personal address book.

Your global address book lists all the registered users on your network. With the 
Personal Agent, you can search for a user name, user ID, first name, last name, or 
phone number. You initiate a call by clicking an entry in your global address 
book. Your service  provider or system administrator maintains this list. This is an 
optional feature and can be turned off by your system administrator.

You can use your personal address book to manage addresses. You can save your 
addresses for quick access, as well as organize addresses into groups. Your 
personal address book is synchronized across all your network access devices. If 
you make a change in your personal address book on the Personal Agent, the 
change automatically appears on your other network access devices (for example, 
your Multimedia PC Client and your IP Phone).

In your personal address book, you can designate entries as Friends. When you 
mark an address book entry as a Friend, you can see the online presence status for 
that entry in the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone.
