Guard Timer
Software Version: CPC-B Version 4.0 or higher
Address: FF1 8# 4# 2# 3# (0-15)#
Description
Determines how long the system guards a T1 circuit (1200 ms by default).
When the DBS "guards" a circuit, it holds the circuit after it has been released
to make sure the previous call is properly disconnected. This means the
channel cannot be used for another call until the Guard Timer has expired.

Notes
Power-Cycling Requirement. For changes to this parameter to take effect,
the system must be turned off, then back on.
