1.1. Overview

This module provides on-server speed dial facilities. An user can store records consisting of pairs short numbers (2 digits) and SIP addresses into a table of SER. Then it can dial the two digits whenever he wants to call the SIP address associated with those digits.

1.2. Dependencies

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • database module (mysql, dbtext, ...).

  • sl - stateless module.

1.3. Installation And Running

1.3.1. Database setup

Before using speeddial module, you have to create the database table where the short dial addresses are stored. If the table was not created at the installation time, you can use the following SQL script (tested with MySQL) as template. Database, the table name, and column names can be set with module parameters so they can be changed.

Example 1. speeddial sql script

CREATE TABLE speed_dial (
  username varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
  domain varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  sd_username varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
  sd_domain varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',
  new_uri varchar(192) NOT NULL default '',
  description varchar(64) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY (username, domain, sd_domain, sd_username)
);
