[asterisk-users] Polycom config file location

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

K, here's something a phone coughed up the other day:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<PHONE_CONFIG>
         <OVERRIDES reg.1.ringType="17"/>

</PHONE_CONFIG>

and here's another chunk from another phone.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<PHONE_CONFIG>
         <OVERRIDES reg.1.fwdContact="312" reg.1.fwdStatus="0" 
call.callsPerLineKey="1" reg.2.callsPerLineKey="8" 
reg.2.thirdPartyName="" reg.2.type="private" reg.2.label="" 
reg.2.displayName="" reg.2.address="" reg.1.thirdPartyName="" 
reg.1.ringType="17"/>



</PHONE_CONFIG>

madness, huh?  I think these are situations in which configurations made 
to the phone had to be written here to override the global provisioning 
files.  These exist in the ftp account's home dir as *-phone.cfg

why? I think the xmelly cfg files are proof enough.
