This is a refresher configuration sheet for eyeBeam, doing peer to peer 
presence.

We are now testing with the beta version eyeBeam Beta 1.1.2 3006o stamp

Create Account:

Right click on the client and choose Settings - SIP Accounts - Add a New 
SIP Account or just edit the previous one for pals.

Register with pals:

Click Server and enter any display name, your pals user name, authorization 
user name, and password.  By default, user name = authorization user name, 
without @ or domain.  Domain will be pals.internet2.edu  Click Register 
with domain and click Enable this SIP account and press Apply.

Enable Presence:

Choose Presence under your new account, and set Presence mode = 
peer-to-peer and poll time and refresh interval to something that matches 
your patience level.  The lower it is, the more messages you'll see in the 
diagnostic log.

Presence Options:

Click Calls & Contacts and Add a New Group, called Internet2.  Click Add a 
New Contact, and  fill with someone else's  sip address at pals, and Group 
= Internet2.

New Status Message to set up a custom status setting (perhaps with your 
location).  Click Status Settings to set more status details.

Right click on client and choose Privacy Management to setup your contact 
list access (Allow Phone, Allow IM, Show Presence).  Be careful with this.

make sure you are Registered with pals.
