Important

Be aware of the limited permanent storage on the phone(s).

Important

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 changing the baseline configuration files for an entire system.
