Hi There,

We have some users using x-lite as their SIP phone... but im wondering
how to get the "Calls & Contacts" to show as being available (Or if it
can be done at all?). Is this what "Presence" is?

Thanks

Simon

Configure the extension as a softphone using the format
<extension>@<asterisk.ip.address>.

Works fine for me - and works even better for agents!

Thanks for the reply.. Sorry for the lame question.. Do i do that in
X-Lite or Asterisk?

Thanks again!.. Right. I have it working now, it shows the users
statuses as online or offline and changes them when someone closes
their app. But not free/busy type changes.. Any idea why here?

IIRC Asterisk doesn't support the full presence publishing spec so you
won't get the full range of possible status types, however you should at
least get free/busy. I vaguely recall having to change the presence
type from peer-to-peer to something else - that's done in the SIP
configuration window. However, since I don't have X-Lite in front of me
at the moment (fortunately, for the most part!) I can't give you more of
a hint than that.
