When enabling the presence service in CUCME, you are using the SIP methods of Subscribe and Notify to allow users the ability to see changes in the line state of phones. The phone acts as a watcher using the subscribe method to get status updates from a directory number assigned to a phone that acts as the presentity. CUCME will respond to the request and each time there is a status update for that DN or presentity, CUCME will send all watchers a notification message. CUCME presence can be applied either as a BLF speed-dial assigned to a line button or as BLF call-lists that will support status notifications of a presentity in the directories or call log (missed, placed, received) of the phone.
