The short answer is that it currently does not do that. When an XMPP user does not have its IM client turned on it is 'offline' in XMPP-speak. In XMPP, the offline state is represented by a NULL presence so setting the status message of such a user to 'on the phone' is not something that we can currently do but I understand the value of the scenario you are describing. Please file a Jira for this - perhaps there is a way to fake things so that what you are requesting can be done but it needs to be investigated. > > (i.e., the receptionist wants to monitor the presence of 10, > 20 or 30 phones/staff.

The receptionist will be able to see whether or not an online XMPP user is on the phone. However the DND state is something that is implemented inside the phone (i.e. is local to the phone). There is therefore no way for the server to represent the DND state of a user. The SMC clients are an exception because they are both a SIP phone and an XMPP client, as such they can reflect the phone's DND state on the XMPP side... > > Would this work if the organization already has an XMPP > capable system elsewhere? I need for info to answer that one. Please further describe the scenario you have in mind. _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
