When you sign in to Receptionist or Call Center, your presence state is automatically set to Available. You can change this presence state and provide a status message to display to your contacts. The instructions are the same for both clients.
NOTE: When changing your presence Status in Receptionist and Call Center Clients, it automatically changes your status in UCx as well.

Click the Presence box at the top right-hand side of the main window and select the new state from the drop-down list.
The possible states are: Available, Busy, Away, and Offline. When you are in Available, Busy, or Away states you are still considered to be online.
