4.2 Contacts Tab
The Contacts tab displays a user’s contacts and allows multiple contact methods for them, including:
• SIP address (softphone)
• Home phone number
• Cellphone number
• E-mail.
Users can identify one of these contacts as the primary contact method.
Users can phone any contact. If the contact has a SIP address, users can also send them instant messages, watch
their availability, and let them watch the local user’s availability. If the contact has an e-mail address, users can
send an e-mail from X-Lite.
Typically, X-Lite organizes contacts into one of three built-in groups: Family, Friends, and Work. Users can
create more groups as desired (see “Adding, Deleting or Renaming Groups” on
page 17 ).
