Parameters can be stored in the files in any order and can be placed in any
number of files. The default is to have 2 files, one for per-phone setting and one
for system settings. The per-phone file is typically loaded first, and could
contain system level parameters, letting you override that parameter for a
given user. For example, it might be desirable to set the default CODEC for a
remote user differently than for all the users who reside in the head office. By
adding the CODEC settings to a particular user's per-phone file, the values in
the system file are ignored.
Verify the order of the configuration files. Parameters in the configuration file loaded

Manual Configuration
When the manual configuration method is employed, any changes made are
stored in a configuration override file. This file is stored on the phone, but a
copy will also be uploaded to the central provisioning server if one is being
used. When the phone boots, this file is loaded by the application after any
centrally provisioned files have been read, and its settings will override those
in the centrally provisioned files.
