Free seating

Free seating is intended for workstations that are used by several staff members.
With free seating each member of staff is able to log in to a non-personalised
phone with his call number and PIN and personalise that phone for a specific
amount of time. During that time he uses the phone with or without his personal
settings. Phones that are set up for free seating belong to a free seating pool.
Free seating pool
You assign phones for free seating use to a free seating pool rather than a user. You
can set up several free seating pools and assign several phones to each free seating
phone. 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 goes
back to the free seating pool. In other words the user temporarily borrows the
phone from the free seating pool. During that time the phone adopts all the user's
properties.
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 user
You 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 the
logged 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 the
same type, the settings are adopted by the free seating phone. If not, the defaults
for 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 the
ring melody. These settings are saved and will be available to him again the next
time he logs in.
