This example assumes you have exported the access token to the variable $TOKEN.

Retrieve the dialing-context template.
The template of a configuration element is a data structure containing all required sub-elements and supported attributes with their default values, along with any specified optional sub-elements.
```
curl -X GET -o response.xml \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.2/configuration/elementTypes/template?elementType=dialing-context&subElement=dial-pattern"
```
The response is saved to the file response.xml.
Copy the content between the opening and closing <configElement> tags to a new file called dialing-context.xml.
If you are on a Linux system with xmllint installed, you may optionally format the XML before writing it to the file system.
```
sed -n '/<configElement>/,/<\/configElement>/p' response.xml | xmllint --format - > dialing-context.xml
```

Set the attributes in the XML file to their desired values.

The following shows an example of the contents of dialing-context.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<configElement>
  <elementType>dialing-context</elementType>

curl -X POST \
    --header "Accept: application/xml" \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    "https://10.0.0.2/rest/v1.2/configuration/lock"

Add the dialing-context configuration element to the Communications Broker.

curl -X POST \
