 [0] Disable = Disables the Hold service.
 [1] Enable = Enables the Hold service (default).
If the Hold service is enabled, a user can place the call on hold (or
remove from hold) using the hook-flash button. On receiving a Hold
request, the remote party is placed on hold and hears the hold tone.
Note: To use this service, thedevices at both ends must support this
option.

 [1] Send Only = The SDP contains the attribute 'a=sendonly'.
Web/EMS: Held Timeout
[HeldTimeout]

hold. If a Resume (un-hold Re-INVITE) message is received before the
timer expires, the call is renewed. If this timer expires, the call is released.
 [-1] = The call is placed on hold indefinitely until the initiator of on hold
retrieves the call again(default).
 [0 - 2400] =Time to wait in seconds, after which the call is released.
Web: Call Hold

Ring. If a user hangs up while a call is still on hold, then the FXS interface
immediately rings the extension for the duration specified by this

The valid range is 0 to 600. The default value is 30.
Note: This parameter is applicable only to FXS interfaces.
