	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		The sca module implements Shared Call Appearances. It handles
		SUBSCRIBE messages for call-info and line-seize events, and
		sends call-info NOTIFYs to line subscribers to implement line
		bridging. The module implements SCA as defined in Broadworks
		SIP Access Side Extensions Interface Specifications, Release
		13.0, version 1, sections 2, 3 and 4.
	</para>
	<para>
		SCA group members receive call state notifications when other
		group members participate in calls. An SCA caller can place a
		call on hold, and the call may be retrieved from hold by
		another member of the group.
	</para>
	<para>
		Subscribers to SCA call-info events SUBSCRIBE to their
		address-of-record (AoR), asking the application server to
		send call-info NOTIFYs with line state information as lines
		in the subscriber group are used.
	</para>
	<para>
		For example, when an SCA subscriber takes the phone off hook,
		it sends a line-seize SUBSCRIBE to the application server.
		The application server acknowledges the request, and sends to
		the subscriber a line-seize NOTIFY with the appearance index
		of the line claimed for the subscriber. The application also
		sends call-info NOTIFYs to the other SCA subscribers to the
		AoR, letting them know that an appearance within the group has
		gone off hook. Subscribers update their display appropriately.
	</para>
	<para>
		Subscribers to an SCA address-of-record will receive call-info
		NOTIFYs when a member of the group seizes a line (seized);
		receives a 180 ringing response from the remote party (ringing);
		receives a 183 progressing response from the remote party
		(progressing); when the remote party answers the call (active);
		when either party in the call places the call on hold (held);
		and when an SCA line goes back on hook (idle).
	</para>
	<para>
		The call-info subscriber information is stored in memory and
		is periodically written to the database. Call state information
		is stored in memory. A future release may periodically write
		call state to the database, as well. The database is purely
		for restoring subscriptions after a restart of the application
		server. Subscriber information is also flushed to the database
		when the service is stopped.
	</para>
	<para>
		At the time of this writing, Polycom and Cisco handsets are
		known to implement the call-info and line-seize event packages
		defined in the document, which may be found freely on the web.
	</para>
	<para>
		To date, this module has only been tested with Polycom
		Soundpoint 550s and 650s running Polycom SIP 3.3.4.

	<title>Parameters</title>
	<section id="sca.p.hash_table_size">
		<title><varname>hash_table_size</varname> (integer)</title>
		<para>
		Size, as a power of two, of the shared memory hash table
		containing the call-info subscriptions and the appearance
		state. A larger power of two means better performance
		(fewer collisions, making for fewer subscriber URI comparisons)
		at the expense of increased shared memory use.
		</para>
		<para>
		<emphasis>
			Default value is 9 (2 ^ 9 == 512).
		</emphasis>
		</para>
		<example>
		<title>Set <varname>hash_table_size</varname>:</title>

		The maximum allowed line-seize subscription time in seconds.

			<para>
				<emphasis>
			Default value is 15 (15 seconds).
				</emphasis>
			</para>
		<para>
		A maximum line-seize subscription time of 15 seconds is
		recommended in the SIP Access Side Extensions document.
		This interval is purposely short to prevent a client from
		seizing an appearance without making a call for extended
		periods of time.

			</para>
			<para>
				<emphasis>
			Default value is 120 (2 minutes).
				</emphasis>
			</para>
		<para>
		On finding an expired subscription, the module removes the
		subscription from the shared memory hash table, and sends a
		NOTIFY with Subscription-State "terminated;expired" header
		value to the subscriber. It also NOTIFYs other members of
		the group, in the event that the expired subscription was
		a line-seize.
