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

Property file changes

The following values are written to sdk.properties, based on the answers given to their respective questions:

  • sdk.component.vendor,

  • sdk.component.version,

  • sdk.platform.operator.name,

  • sdk.ivy.org, and

  • sdk.ivy.publish.revision.

Notes

These values are used in various places throughout the remainder of the installer (e.g. when determining profile names). It is therefore not recommended to change any of these values.

Rhino

Property file changes

The following values are written to sdk.properties:

  • client.home is set to the configured Rhino client directory, and

  • rhino.home is set to the parent directory of the configured Rhino client directory.

Notes

These values can be changed after installation.

If using the Sentinel VoLTE SDK installer to install Rhino automatically, Rhino uses the supplied license file.

The Rhino node setup is used later during the installation.

Deploy module

Configuration profile changes

Many, see notes.

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.

Play announcements

Configuration profile changes

The installer sets MediaServerURI in the SipAnnouncementResourceProfileTable to the supplied media server URI.

Notes

The media server URI can be changed after installation.

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.

Resource adaptor configuration changes

If not using Diameter Ro online charging, the diameterro-0 resource adaptor is deactivated.

Notes

The online charging mode can be changed after installation, if the new charging mode is manually configured as detailed below.

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 the EnableMultiNodeConfig value of the DiameterRoOcsProfile (default false),)

  • 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:

  • ReplicateActivities is set to true

  • ReplicateByDefault is set to false

Notes

The configuration can be changed after installation.

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 to true exactly if interim CDRs have been enabled, and

  • SessionCdrsEnabled is set to true 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 to true exactly if interim CDRs have been enabled, and

  • UseRfControlRa is set to true exactly if Diameter Rf has been enabled in the Diameter Rf step.

Notes

These values can be changed after installation, keeping in mind that interim CDRs should be enabled if Diameter Rf is enabled.

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

DestinationRealm can be changed after installation, but changing DestinationHost is not recommended.

Sentinel registrar

Configuration profile changes

The installer sets the following values in the RegistrarConfigurationTable 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 either HSS or CASSANDRA.

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.

Notes

It is not recommended to change the data storage type after installation. However, the details for the chosen storage type can be altered. Furthermore, the ${platform.operator.name}:::::101 profile can be used as a prototype for adding additional nodes.

Cassandra

Resource adaptor configuration changes

The installer sets the following values in the cassandra-general resource adaptor configuration:

  • cassandraContactPoints is set to the configured Cassandra contact points, and

  • RFC3263:failover_timer is set to 10000

  • RFC3263:blacklist_timer is set to 300000

Network Interface changes

The DNS domain name specified during installation will be set:

  • in the VirtualAddresses configuration property for the network interface (named sip-sis-ra-default) of the sip-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 (named sip-sis-ra-default) of the sip-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.
