• Meet Me conferences (often called conference bridges) are conferences that use a pre-defined
conference number where attendees enter an access number (and optionally a passcode) to
be placed into the appropriate conference bridge.
The network conference server is responsible for hosting both types of conferences. You can use
the AS 5300 Office Client to create Ad Hoc audio conferences, or to dial in to Meet Me audio
conferences.
Tip:
The conferencing procedures in this guide refer only to Ad hoc audio conferences. For more
information about Meet Me audio conferences, talk to your system administrator, or see

Conversation
You can use the Avaya Aura
®
AS 5300 Office Client to converse with other subscribers using one or
more multimedia components. For example, a conversation can involve just voice, or just instant
messaging, or both. The concept of conversations is key to understanding and using the multimedia
capabilities of the Avaya Aura
®
AS 5300 Office Client.
Friends
Within your Outlook contacts, you can designate entries as Friends. People that you contact
frequently are good candidates as Friends. If you mark a contact entry as a Friend, you can see the
online presence status for that person. Click the
My Friends
button to see your Friends and their
online presence status.
Tip:
The ability to see another user’s presence information depends on whether this service is
assigned to you. If you do not the presence service available to you, you cannot mark any
address book entries as Friends, and you do not see any presence information when using the
My Friends
button.
Global address book
The global address book is a list of all existing subscribers in the domain, and is managed by your
service provider or system administrator. Using the Avaya Aura
®
AS 5300 Office Client, you can
search on a subscriber’s user name, userID, First name, Last name, or Phone number. You can
import items from the global address book into your Outlook contacts.
