During that time he uses the phone with or without his personalsettings. Phones that are set up for free seating belong to a free seating pool.Free seating poolYou assign phones for free seating use to a free seating pool rather than a user. Youcan set up several free seating pools and assign several phones to each free seatingphone. However each phone can only belong to one free seating pool.When a user logs in to a free seating phone, the phone is taken out of the free seat-ing pool and assigned to that user. When the user logs out again, the phone goesback to the free seating pool. In other words the user temporarily borrows thephone from the free seating pool. During that time the phone adopts all the user’sproperties.The free seating pool itself has properties similar to those of a user. These proper-ties remain effective for as long as no user logs in to the free seating phone.Personal settings of the logged userYou can specify whether in addition to the user properties (call number and name,call lists, phone book, permission set, caller identification, call forwarding, and oth-ers) the terminal settings (user language, key assignments, audio properties) of thelogged user are effective (default) or whether the terminal settings of the free seat-ing pool are to be used (Use personal terminal profile setting).If a user logs in with the default setting and he is already assigned a phone of thesame type, the settings are adopted by the free seating phone. If not, the defaultsfor that phone type are adopted.The user can adapt the terminal settings to his requirements in the usual way, di-rectly on the phone. He may for example reconfigure certain keys or change thering melody. These settings are saved and will be available to him again the nexttime he logs in.
