specifies the Port Network number 
of the TDM bus.
(“a” or “b”) specifies desired half of 
the TDM bus. Configure each 512 
time slot TDM bus as two duplicate 
256 time slot buses, allowing 
duplication of control channels and 
dedicated tone time slots. A port 
network number (1 - 3) 
forces the setting of a deactivated 
bus, or a bus whose dedicated 
tone time slots are active.
