2.2.2.1.2.2 Application Configuration Files
Typically, the files are arranged in the following manner although parameters may be
moved around within the files and the file names themselves can be changed as
needed.
Per-phone settings phoneXXXX.cfg
Application settings sip.cfg
Core settings ipmid.cfg
Note
The order of the configuration files listed in CONFIG_FILES is significant.
• The files are processed in the order listed (left to right).
• The same parameters may be included in more than one file.
• The parameter found first in the list of files will be the one that is effective.
This provides a convenient means of overriding the behavior of one or more phones without
altering the baseline configuration files for an entire system.
