Presence

You can monitor the presence (or status) of the people entered in your Phone Book (assuming they “publish their presence”). Presence is published by SIP users, and some other systems too.

Setting it up

  1. In Dynamics Telephony settings, under Provider Configuration, tick the checkbox next to Publish Enabled.
