Hello All,

I’m a bit confused as to how Siremis interacts with Kamailio. From what I understand, the dial-plan is done in the kamailio.cfg with regex statements and requires a restart of the Kamailio process to take effect. How then does Siremis change the dial-plan in Kamailio without writing re-writing the config?

I’m assuming Siremis is merely writing to a MySQL database and some additional code is required in the kamailio.cfg in order to be able to use the dial-plan functionality of Siremis?

What must I change in the kamailio.cfg to be able to use Siremis for dial-plan modification?

You can build the routing logic statically in kamailio configuration file. But in many cases you can use a module that loads the routing rules from database. It is where siremis can help, by managing those rules in database. Then you can send a MI/RPC command to kamailio to tell to a module to load its rules from database, without need to restart.

For example, pdt module, it loads its rules to translate a prefix to a domain from pdt table at startup. If you change something in database, then you can send a command using kamctl to reload all the rules from database. The configuration file is not affected at all by such operations.
