What we have done in  some of our setups is to provide a Web interface 
for users to update their presence status, extending the basic online 
information provided by the phones.  This could be added to serweb or 
provided as a completely separate web interface.  Our web implementation 
read from the sql database used by SER and PA and sent PUBLISH messages 
(either via UDP or FIFO) to update the status.

The PA module depends on updates to some of the core of SER, so you 
would need a later version.
