This parameter defines the local RTP-RTCP port pair the HandyTone ATA will listen and transmit. It is the base RTP port for channel 0. When configured, channel 0 will use this port _value for RTP and the port_value+1 for its RTCP; channel 1 will use port_value+2 for RTP and port_value+3 for its RTCP. The default value for FXS port 1 is 5004. The default value for FXS port 2 is 5008.

Default is No. If set to Yes, Call Forwarding & Do-Not-Disturb are supported locally
