After the Cisco Unified Presence server is defined in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, what is the next logical step in the configuration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager?

Once the CUP server is registered in CUCM, the next step is to assign capabilities (such as Presence and IM) to end users via their user profiles in CUCM Administration. This enables users to appear as presence-aware endpoints and allows the Presence server to track their availability. Without this step, users cannot use any Presence features even if the server is correctly defined.

AXL configuration is a prerequisite or separate integration task, not the next step after defining the CUP server.

Defining the CUCM publisher is a prerequisite step that must already be done before the CUP server can be defined.

Activating CUP services is performed on the CUP server itself, not in CUCM Administration, and is done during CUP server setup - not after CUP is defined in CUCM.

Defining a CUCM SIP publish trunk is related to SIP federation or external presence, not the immediate next step after registering the CUP server in CUCM.
