Download Bell Aliant PC Phone User Guide

Ad-hoc presence subscription allows users to check presence status of people who
are not in their Friends list. In the case of contacts that are defined as Friends, no
ad-hoc presence subscriptions are required since the user is already subscribed to
their friends’ presence. For GAB and non-friend PAB contacts, an ad-hoc
subscription is created for the lifetime of the Contact Details window. As long as
the window is open, the user receives presence updates for that contact. The
ad-hoc subscription is terminated when the window is closed.
Presence
The ability to configure automatic presence notifications on Bell Aliant PC
Phone depends on whether this service is assigned to you. If you do not have
automatic presence support, then you will not be able to use the automatic
presence feature.
Presence is how you let other users know your status in the network. Use Login,
Change My Status to change your presence state. This lets other users know
whether you are online or unavailable. You can also set the system to
automatically alert others whether you are away from your PC or on the
telephone.
Tip: Exiting properly from Bell Aliant PC Phone is important since it
updates your presence status in the network. You may experience
incorrect presence status until you log back in again or after a time-out
period
Proxy server
A proxy server is an application that relays data between Bell Aliant PC Phone
and the network. It is responsible for making sure your calls get to your registered
access clients. When you connect to the proxy server you need to provide a valid
username and password.
The IP address of the proxy server may already be defined in Bell Aliant
PC Phone. If it is not, contact your administrator to obtain the proxy server
configuration information.
