Northland COMMUNICATIONS MaX UC Outlook Integration
MaX UC can store the details of your contacts in its User Interface (UI). It
is also provisioned to link with one contact source – either CommPortal,
Microsoft Outlook or Mac AddressBook. Depending on the system configuration,
you may be able to change this. These contacts appear under the Contacts tab
in the Tools Menu.
Contacts from CommPortal, Microsoft Outlook or Mac AddressBook that appear in
the MaX UC UI can be edited in either application and the changes will be
synced between them. When you use an Outlook Calendar and you select Integrate
with Outlook for calls, messaging and presence and also choose Use Contacts
from Outlook, when you have a meeting or event scheduled on the Outlook
Calendar, your presence in MaX UC will show you as in a meeting. In addition,
Presence Icons will appear in Outlook for Subscribers in your Business Group.
You can also schedule and create meetings when you download the Outlook “Plug-
in”.
