    Before you begin: You must have admin or super admin permissions.
    The capacity to presence monitor is dependent on the number of line keys on your phone.
    1. Sign in to PBX Administration (classic) at https://my.jive.com/pbx.
    2. Select Devices in the left navigation menu and then choose the device that requires presence monitoring.
    3. From Button Configuration, check Allow this device to monitor the presence of other devices.
    4. Choose Speed Dial w/Presence as the button type, and then choose the extension to be monitored.
      Note: To presence monitor a call parking spot, change the type to Phone Number (icon next to the extension) and then enter *37 + the parking spot number.
    5. Optional: Edit the button label. Changing this overrides the line name.
    6. Select Save.
    7. Power cycle the device to apply the changes.
