[asterisk-users] asterisk realtime and creating "new" contexts

[Saul Bejarano]

By using the standard FreePBX you have all the work done, from that 
point you just have to enter the information on Mysql:
mysql> use asterisk;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> show tables;

The table that will handle your extensions will be SIP not extensions, 
Extensions will handle the dial plan for outbound dialing:
mysql> select * from sip where id=1418
     -> ;
+------+-------------+---------------+-------+
| id   | keyword     | data          | flags |
+------+-------------+---------------+-------+

| 1418 | accountcode |               |     0 |
| 1418 | allow       |               |     0 |
| 1418 | callerid    | device <1418> |     0 |
| 1418 | callgroup   |               |     0 |
| 1418 | canreinvite | no            |     0 |

| 1418 | port        | 5060          |     0 |
| 1418 | qualify     | yes           |     0 |
| 1418 | record_in   | Adhoc         |     0 |
| 1418 | record_out  | Adhoc         |     0 |

This method is great because you can customize not only the information 
that you are writing to create the extensions but the information that 
you allow your customer to modify to manage features like follow me, 
forwarding, etc.
