PandaeatsBamboo: Enable Presence Service on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express

My environment: CME 7.1, IOS 12.4(24)T1 on Cisco 2821 ISR

An iPhone app for CME Config Generation:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cme-config-generator/id453025819?ls=1&mt=8

Presence enables the calling party to know before dialing whether the called party is available. It also supports Busy Lamp Field (BLF) speed-dial and phone presence status on directory call-list.
To configure the presence service, you need to:
1. Enable Presence Service

c2821-cme(config)#sip-ua
c2821-cme(config-sip-ua)#presence enable
c2821-cme(config-sip-ua)#exit
c2821-cme(config)#presence
c2821-cme(config-presence)#max-subscription 100
c2821-cme(config-presence)#presence call-list
c2821-cme(config-presence)#end

2. Enable Directory Number (DN) to be watched

c2821-cme#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
c2821-cme(config)#ephone-dn 2
c2821-cme(config-ephone-dn)#allow watch

3. Configure phone 1 to monitor BLF status for ephone-dn 2 (4002).

c2821-cme(config)#ephone 1
c2821-cme(config-ephone)#blf-speed-dial 1 4002 label "Steve Jobs"

This doesnt work in 7961 but for the CIPC.
To make it work for 7961 you need to add presence call-list in ephone and application default in ephone-dn that needs to be watched.
