contacts in their local directory. This allows identifica-
tion of a contact by a specific ring tone.
This feature is local to the telephone,
and may be over-ridden by Server set-
tings. Contact your System Administra-
tor for more details.

The telephone combines interactive
message services and status monitoring
to complement a traditional messaging
application such as email.
Live interaction within a pool of tele-
phones is possible by monitoring the
“presence” of the parties involved.
Each telephone can “watch” the status of
up to eight other telephones. These other
telephones form the “Buddy List”. The
status of buddies is displayed and updated
in real time. Each telephone can also be
“watched” by up to eight other telephones.
