Importing a buddy from the native address book
You can import buddies from the native address book. Using the native contact search, you can select an
individual entry and add it to the Avaya 3100 Mobile Communicator Web UI for Windows Mobile as a
buddy.
You can add buddies from your SIM card using this mechanism.
Importing a buddy from the native address book
1. Navigate to the Contacts pane.
OR
Select Start, Contacts.
2. Scroll to the entry for the person to add.
3. Select Menu, Add to Avaya 3100 MC - Client Buddies.
4. Select Menu, Add to Buddies.
5. After importing a buddy, check that the contact information is complete. You may need to add a tag or
special character that was not present in the original record.
Viewing the presence status of buddies
• check the presence of a single buddy
• check the presence of all buddies
• request notification when the presence status of a buddy changes.
You can configure the Avaya 3100 MC - Client for Windows Mobile to receive automatic presence status
updates. By doing this, you can stay up-to-date with the latest status information for all of your buddies. To
switch from manual (default) to automatic mode, select Auto Presence Enabled on the Buddy pane. For
more information, see
“Buddy Settings” on page 34 .
Note: Having Auto Presence Enabled causes extra airtime to be consumed and battery life to be
reduced.
Viewing the presence status of a buddy
1. Expand the Buddy list.
2. Scroll and highlight a buddy, and then choose one of the following:
— Menu, Query Presence to check buddy status
— Menu, Set Presence Alert to be alerted of a status change. Only the next change is tracked, not
all changes.
— Menu, Clear Presence Alert to cancel status change alerts.
The Buddy list updates with the current presence status for the selected buddy.
