I'm not saying Microsoft is the standard (they usually aren't by FAR), but how Microsoft handles presence and interoperates with presence on various IP phones is what Polycom calls a "standard" (guess I should have quoted that word originally).

I believe there is some RFC for presence out there that some people consider the "standard"; although, I'm not sure what this is... Saying the word standard to me is like saying that someone is "normal" ..... there is no such thing. It's normally just something that "most" people agree on as a standard. Anyways, some of us here at Atacomm are currently arguing with Polycom why they can't make their phones support BOTH "methods" of handling presence, we think that would be the simplest solution instead of just shutting out some of the systems like Asterisk.

However, there are still confirmed problems with this setup (i.e. LEDs
not working), which Polycom and ourselves are currently testing in our
labs trying to fix. The reasoning for this is Digium doesn't seem to
follow the "standards" for presence support and are currently working to
change this functionality within Asterisk. Polycom designed their
phones, and specifically their firmware, to work with the "standards"
(more specifically, the Microsoft LCS - Live Communications Server).


What are the specific standards to which you refer? To my knowledge,
Microsoft LCS is *not* an industry adopted standard.
