On this page we explain how the answers given to the various questions asked by the installer affect the configuration of the Sentinel VoLTE SDK, and how this configuration can be changed without reinstalling the Sentinel VoLTE SDK.
Where changes to profile tables do not specify an explicit profile, the change is made to the profile ${platform.operator.name}::::
.
Please note that some parts of the installer do not require user input, hence some of the sections below do not appear in the installer.

Basic SDK questions
Rhino
Deploy module
Notes
This question determines which features are deployed (this always includes the core features, and can include MMTel and SCC features) and whether the GSM or CDMA features are deployed. Only the chosen features, with their configurations, are deployed. This setting cannot be changed without a reinstall of the Sentinel VoLTE SDK.
Determine international and roaming status
Configuration profile changes
The installer create two profiles, one named DEFAULT
and one named after the home network MCC, in:
-
${platform.operator.name}_DetermineInternationalAndRoamingStatus_AddressListEntryTable
, and -
${platform.operator.name}_DetermineInternationalAndRoamingStatus_AddressListConfigurationTable
.
These profiles are initialised using the configured home network prefix and home network MCC.
Furthermore, it sets the following values in the SipSentinelConfigurationTable
profile table:
-
HomeNetworkIDs
is set to the home domain, -
HomeCountryCodeIDs
is set to the home network prefix, -
MCC
is set to the home network MCC, and -
MNCs
is set to the home network MNC list.
Finally, the NormalizationFeatureConfigProfileTable
is updated as follows:
-
CountryCode
is set to the configured home network prefix.
Notes
All values can be changed after installation.
Furthermore, more profiles can be added to ${platform.operator.name}_DetermineInternationalAndRoamingStatus_AddressListEntryTable
and ${platform.operator.name}_DetermineInternationalAndRoamingStatus_AddressListConfigurationTable
, using the installer-created profiles as a prototype.
Online charging
Configuration profile changes
If using Diameter Ro online charging, the DestinationRealm
in the DiameterMediationOcsConfigurationTable
is set to the value chosen for the destination realm during the Diameter configuration.
Diameter (RO & CCA)
Configuration profile changes
The installer sets Host
in the DiameterConfig
profile table to the supplied host.
If using the installer to set up a simple configuration, all profiles in the DiameterConfig
profile table, except the default profile (the nameless profile), are updated as follows:
-
PeerTable
is updated using the supplied peer URI and address, -
Realm
is set to the configured realm name, and -
RealmTable
is updated using the supplied realm name and peer URI.
If setting up a simple configuration, and deploying against a production Rhino (as configured in the Rhino step), we additionally set in the same profiles:
-
EnableMultiNodeConfig
is set to theEnableMultiNodeConfig
value of theDiameterRoOcsProfile
(defaultfalse
),) -
NodeIDs
is set using the node configuration from the Rhino step, and -
PerNodeHosts
is set using the node configuration from the Rhino step.
Finally, the installer sets DisableCharging
in the DetermineChargingConfigProfileTable to false
exactly if Diameter Ro online charging was selected in the Online charging step.
Resource adaptor configuration changes
The field 3GPPVersion
in the diameterro-0
resource adaptor configuration is set to the configured version.
If Session Replication is enabled, the following diameterro-0
resource adaptor configuration properties are adjusted:

-
ReplicateByDefault
is set tofalse
Diameter Rf
Configuration profile changes
The installer sets host
in the client
profile of the RfControlDiameterConfiguration
table to the supplied host.
If using the installer to set up a simple configuration, all profiles in the RfControlDiameterConfiguration
profile table are updated as follows:
-
PeerTable
is updated using the supplied peer URI and address, -
Realm
is set to the configured realm name, and -
RealmTable
is updated using the supplied realm name and peer URI.
Resource adaptor configuration changes
The rf-control-ra
resource adaptor configuration is updated as followed:
-
3GPPVersion
is set to the configured version.
Additionally, if using the installer to set up a simple configuration:
-
DestinationHost
is set to the peer host, and -
DestinationRealm
is set to the realm name.
Finally, if not using Diameter Rf, the rf-control-ra
resource adaptor is deactivated.
Notes
The configuration can be changed after installation. If enabling Diameter Rf after installation, please also make the required changes in the Call detail records (CDRs) step.
Call detail records (CDRs)
Configuration profile changes
The installer makes the following changes in the DetermineChargingConfigProfileTable
profile table:
-
InterimCdrsEnabled
is set totrue
exactly if interim CDRs have been enabled, and -

exactly if session CDRs have been enabled.
Similarly, the installer makes the following changes to all profiles in the SipInterimCdrProfileTable
profile table:
-
UseCdrRa
is set totrue
exactly if interim CDRs have been enabled, and -
UseRfControlRa
is set totrue
exactly if Diameter Rf has been enabled in the Diameter Rf step.
CAP charging (IM-SSF)
Property file changes
The properties file imssf-install.properties
is updated as follows:
-
imssf.countrycode
is set to the supplied country code, and -
imssf.default.mediaserver.address
is set to the supplied default media server address.
Notes
These values can be changed after installation as detailed in the IM-SSF documentation.
Sh Cache Microservice RA
Configuration profile changes
The following values are set in the sh-cache-microservice-ra
resource adaptor configuration:
-
serverURL
is set to the URL for the Sh Cache Microservice -
proxy.enabled
is set to true if a proxy has been enabled, and -
proxy.host
andproxy.port
are set to the configured proxy values (if enabled).

profile table:
-
AtuSti
is set to the configured ATU-STI, -
AtcfUpdateTimeout
is set to the configured ATCF update timeout, -
StnSr
is set to the configured STN-SR, and -
SubscriberDataFacadeType
is set to the chosen registration data storage type.
Additionally it will set one value on the VolteServiceConfigProfileTable
profile table:
-
RegistrationDataSource
will be set to eitherHSS
orCASSANDRA
.
Furthermore, a prototype profile ${platform.operator.name}:::::101
is created in the same profile table, with a single entry:
-
AtuSti
is set to the configured ATU-STI.
Resource adaptor configuration changes
If Cassandra has been chosen for the registration data storage, the installer enables the cassandra
resource adaptor, and sets the following values in the cassandra-third-party-reg
resource adaptor configuration:
-
cassandraContactPoints
is set to the configured Cassandra contact points, and -
policy.protocol.port
is set to the configured Cassandra port.
If Cassandra has not been chosen for the registration data storage, the installer disables the cassandra-third-party-reg
resource adaptor.
Cassandra

Network Interface changes
The DNS domain name specified during installation will be set:
-
in the
VirtualAddresses
configuration property for the network interface (namedsip-sis-ra-default
) of thesip-sis-ra
resource adaptor entity.
Additionally, if session replication was specified during installation, the Dynamic SRV Name format will be set:
-
in the
DynamicSRVNameFormat
configuration property for the network interface (namedsip-sis-ra-default
) of thesip-sis-ra
resource adaptor entity-
If the TAS domain name is tas.example.com then this is set to the value
node-${ip}.tas.example.com
.
-
If the Dynamic SRV Name was not specified at installation time, this resource adaptor entity configuration property will be left blank.
Configuration file changes
The installer records the configured SIP SIS RA hostname in the IPAddress
property in sentinel-volte-base-service-components/config.ant.xml
.
Notes
Please see the SIP Resource Adaptor documentation for more information about changing the RFC 3263 settings.
Further information on the use of the DNS domain name is available in Non-sharded DNS configuration and SIP default network interface settings.
