<h1 class="topictitle1">Interaction with a Lotus Sametime server</h1>
<div><p>Lotus<sup>®</sup> Sametime<sup>®</sup> is
real-time collaboration software -- with online awareness, instant messaging,
application sharing and virtual meetings.</p>
<p>Sametime consists
of client and server applications that enable a community of users to collaborate
in real-time online meetings over an intranet or the Internet. Members of
the Sametime community
use collaborative activities such as presence, chat, screen sharing, a shared
whiteboard, and real-time audio/video capabilities to meet, converse, and
work together in instant or scheduled meetings.</p>
<p>Sametime "presence"
technology enables members who have logged in to the Sametime server
to see all other members who are online (logged in). The names of online users
display in presence lists (also known as buddy lists) in Sametime applications.
From these presence lists, members of the community can converse through instant
messaging sessions or start instant meetings that include chat, screen-sharing,
whiteboard, question and answer polls, the ability to send Web pages, and
audio/video collaborative activities.</p>
<p>To allow the IBM<sup>®</sup> Telephone Directory V5.2 application to integrate Sametime functions,
it uses the Sametime Links optional toolkit for Lotus Sametime. The Sametime Links
toolkit is used for enabling Web applications and with Sametime awareness
and instant messaging using an HTML or JavaScript™ API.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The IBM Welcome
Page V1.1 application is used to configure the location of the online Sametime Links
(STLinks)package, such as server name and URL, in the user's environment.
When configured, the Sametime chat links and Sametime presence list support (also known
as buddy list support) features can be enabled. These features use the Sametime Links
toolkit APIs on HTML screens in the IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 application.</div>
<p>When a user logs in to search for directory entries, results are returned
on HTML pages. The pages display information obtained from the directory for
each matching entry. Results always contain the name of each entry and may
also contain email addresses, telephone numbers, and a list of job responsibilities.
When Sametime chat
links are enabled, results also include awareness icons for each entry (provided
by the Sametime Links
toolkit). Awareness icons are used to indicate whether the other users are
online (logged into Sametime). If they are logged in, users can click on the
awareness icons to initiate chat sessions with other users using Sametime technology.</p>
<p>Another feature of IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 is the Sametime presence
list support (also known as a buddy list). When the Sametime buddy list
support is enabled for the application, an Add to Buddy List icon is displayed
in the navigation bar of a search result page. When this icon is clicked,
the directory entry that is displayed is added to the user's Sametime buddy list. IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 only provides the ability to add listings to a buddy list. Sametime client
software, or other Sametime software, must be used in order to use and manage
the buddy list.</p>
<p>Interaction with the Sametime server for chat sessions and buddy
list support is handled by the Sametime Links toolkit APIs that runs in the
client browser. IBM Telephone Directory does not provide the toolkit, rather,
it adds what is needed on the HTML pages for the toolkit package to be downloaded
from the Sametime server.</p>
<p>See the following IBM Telephone Directory V5.2 topics for more information
on how to set up and use Sametime integration in the application:</p>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Related information</h4><p>You can also set up your Sametime server
and configure it to use the same LDAP directory as IBM Telephone Directory V5.2. By doing so,
you can enable all users to have real-time collaboration without any additional
user administration. See <a href="itdoversametime.htm">Using the same
directory for IBM Telephone
Directory V5.2 and Lotus Sametime</a> for more information.</p>
