External Contacts

You can import Google Talk contacts automatically by providing your Google Account information.  All Google Talk contacts are imported to the group of your choosing.

TCP ports 5222 & 5269 must be open to communicate with external contacts!

To add external contacts, choose File --> Add external contacts from the HUD 3.0.

Open

You can add or import contacts from Google Talk (default) or a variety of other Jabber-based chat clients.  As with Google Talk contacts, all Jabber contacts from any platform will be imported into the group of your choosing (hint: create a new group called 'GTalk Contacts' so that you can quickly tell these people apart from other HUD users!)

Fill out your external contact's information, select the group you would like the contact placed into and click 'Add contact.' (see image below)

Open

Your added contact will now have to accept your invitation in Google Talk.  Once the invitation has been accepted, they are available for chat and will show as available in both Google Talk and HUD 3.0.

 To add another HUD user (who is not part of your company), you can enter the username USERNAME@HOSTNAME or something like this:

1006_8850@s1006.pbxtra.fonality.com

Use this convention for any other HUD user you wish to add as a chat contact!
