Online Status
LanTalk.NET allows other people in your contact list to see your online status, as well as allowing you to see theirs.
LanTalk.NET includes the following status:
- Offline
- Online
- Away
- Busy
- Out
You can choose any status you like. LanTalk.NET automatically notifies everyone in your contact list about your status change.
Only two statuses have strictly defined meaning:
| Offline |
Means you are unavailable (your PC is shut down, LanTalk.NET is not running, network is unavailable, etc.). |
| Online |
Means your computer is connected to the network and the application is responding to status requests. |
All the other statuses are relative and show the degree of absence. LanTalk.NET may set the Away status and Out status automaticly, basing on the user inactivity time. You may set the inactivity time for each status ( Away and Out ) in the Lantalk.NET settings.
| Away |
Means you are away for a short time and will return soon (e.g. on a coffee break). |
| Out |
Means you are away and will not return soon (e.g. having dinner). |
| Busy |
Means you are busy and don not want to be disturbed. |
