4. Defaults
In other words, configuration parameters have precedence over DHCP over Setup over Defaults.
Not all parameter sources may be supported for every parameter. Table 35 on page 179 indicates
which sources are allowed for each parameter.
To fully manually configure a phone simply turn off DHCP, then use the Setup command but be sure
not to specify an FTP server that might download a config file and overwrite your manual settings.
