How Presence Subscriptions Work
The following chart illustrates how the sharing of online status occurs. This chart illustrates a peer-to-peer
subscription, but the same principle applies when a presence agent is used.
Configuring for Workgroups
Workgroup functionality is implemented through support of dialog events (RFC 4235) and through subscription
to a “resource list server” (RLS) in accordance with RFC 4662. It uses full updates (not partial updates) for
dialog events. Your phone setup must support RFC 4235 and RFC 4662. Bria does not support resource list
subscriptions for the “presence” event package.
Each Bria user can be set up as a “person being monitored” and/or as a “person who is monitoring others”.
1. Create workgroups and add “persons being monitored” to the desired workgroups.
2. Determine the URL for each workgroup.
3. Each user must be set up as follows:
• If the user is a “person who is monitoring others”, the Workgroup address must specify the workgroup
URL.
• If the user is a “person being monitored”, check the “Allow others to monitor” field.
• If the user is playing both roles, complete both fields.
When a user who is a “person who is monitoring others” chooses to view the workgroup, Bria immediately
registers attempts to subscribe to the workgroup. If the subscription succeeds, the Workgroup window appears
in Bria. The Workgroup window will show the following:
• Indicator showing the status of phone features for endpoints in the resource list: outgoing call ringing,
incoming call ringing, on the phone, and so on.
• Ability to pick up a call that is incoming to an endpoint.
• Ability to join a call that is established at an endpoint.
