Presence
The following terms describe the presence feature:
Presence: a service on the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone that indicates 
the online status of you and other users on your network.
Automatic presence: a service on the Multimedia PC Client, or IP Phone that 
you configure to make the system automatically alert others when you are 
away from your PC or on the telephone.
Presence Indicators: You can determine the status of anyone registered in the 
system by querying the global address book in the Personal Agent. This 
feature is helpful when sending instant messages or after unanswered calls.
Note: 
The ability to designate entries as Friends is a feature of 
the Presence service and depends on your service package. The 
ability to designate entries as Friends is available only when the 
Presence service is included in your service package.
Note: 
The ability to configure automatic presence notifications 
on the Personal Agent depends on your service package. This 
feature must be enabled in your service package before you can 
use automatic presence.
