Defines an index number for the new table record.

Enables the LCR feature:

[0] Disabled (default)

[1] Enabled
Defines the average call duration (in minutes) and is used to
calculate the variable portion of the call cost. This is useful, for
example, when the average call duration spans over multiple
time bands. The LCR is calculated as follows: cost = call
connect cost + (minute cost * average call duration)
The valid value range is 0-65533. The default is 1.
For example, assume the following Cost Groups:

"Weekend A": call connection cost is 1 and charge per
minute is 6. Therefore, a call of 1 minute cost 7 units.

"Weekend_ B": call connection cost is 6 and charge per
minute is 1. Therefore, a call of 1 minute cost 7 units.
Therefore, for calls under one minute, "Weekend A" carries
the lower cost. However, if the average call duration is more
than one minute, then "Weekend B" carries the lower cost.
Determines whether routing rules in the Outbound IP Routing
table without an assigned Cost Group are considered a higher
cost or lower cost route compared to other matched routing
rules that are assigned Cost Groups.

[0] Lowest Cost = If the device locates other matching LCR
routing rules, this routing rule is considered the lowest cost
route and therefore, it is selected as the route to use
(default.)

[1] Highest Cost = If the device locates other matching
LCR routing rules, this routing rule is considered as the
