The  numbers do not matter unless you try to set them to a number
greater than the total number of configurable 'feature's This is
currently 19, so don't try and set something using feature.20.name ...

The numbering is simply used as an index locally and thus it is the
'name' that is important in defining which feature is being
enabled/disabled in the confog file.

That said I would recommend that sipXconfig use the same numbering
scheme as used in the template sip.cfg file. All features are defaulted
to a baseline set in the template sip.cfg file, and as a general rule as
new features are added they will default to 'disabled' to avoid possible
unwanted behavior changes when a new release is applied. It is only
necessary to explicitly enable features that are relevant in a specific
sipXconfig generated file rather than needing to explicitly set each
feature, so using a numbering convention consistent with the sip.cfg
template will avoid a risk of conflict between the sip.cfg setting and
the sipXecs setting once the new template method is adopted in a future
sipXconfig release.

If you do try and enable a feature on a phone that does not support the
feature the phone will simply ignore the attempt to enable it.

Subject: Another Polycom question: feature.x.name

I'm addressing this question to Marek but anyone who is knowledgeable on

Polycom config can feel free to respond..

There are certain features of the phone that are lumped together in a 
<feature> section of the sip.cfg file. They are entered like this:

feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="0"
feature.2.name="messaging" feature.2.enabled="0"
...
and so on.

Here's my question. Do the numbers matter? For example, does the 
"url-dialing" feature always have to be feature.9?

Why am I asking? Some features are not supported on some phones, and 
disabling them for the unsupported phones causes the feature numbers to 
be different.

For example, currently "acd-agent-availability" is feature.14 in a 
config file for a Polycom 320, but for a Polycom 550 it is feature.15. 
Is this wrong - should all the features always be there, with the 
corresponding ordinal number as they are shown in the configuration 
guide, whether they are supported or not?

Thanks.
