Presence
Presence is the ability of endpoints to provide information to other users about their current status - such as
whether they are offline, online, or in a call. Any entity which provides presence information, or about whom
presence information can be requested, is known as a presentity. Presentities publish information about their
own presence status, and also subscribe to the information being published by other presentities and FindMe
users.

presence information can be requested, is known as a presentity. Presentities publish information about their
own presence status, and also subscribe to the information being published by other presentities and FindMe

Endpoints that support presence, such as Jabber Video, can publish their own status information. The VCS
can also provide basic presence information on behalf of endpoints that do not support presence, including
H.323 endpoints, as long as they have registered with an alias in the form of a URI.

If FindMe is enabled, the VCS can also provide presence information about FindMe users by aggregating the
information provided by each presentity configured for that FindMe user.

Subscription Manager: handles SUBSCRIBE messages, which request information about the status of a
presentity. Upon receipt of a SUBSCRIBE message, the Subscription Manager sends a request to the
Presentity Manager for information about that presentity, and forwards the information that is returned to
the subscriber. The Subscription Manager also receives notifications from the Presentity Manager when a
presentity’s status has changed, and sends this information to all subscribers.
