Receiving an Online Status Request
When someone who is not one of your contacts has you as a contact on their end, you receive an Online Status
Request.
The request appears to you as an Online Status Request. You must respond to the request:
•
Allow the request and create a new contact using this address. This option is selected for you if you do not
currently have a contact with this SIP address.
•
Allow the request and update the contact to allow the person to see your presence. This option is selected
for you if you already have a contact with this SIP address but you were not previously sharing presence
with this person.

Ignore
The other person will not be able to see your availability. The Online Status Request may appear again in this
session or a future session
Allow
The other person will be:
• Able to see your availability.
• Added to your contacts.
Because you allow the request, you will no longer be bothered by requests from this person.
In addition, this same request will automatically be sent from your X-Lite to the other person, so that you can
see their availability.
