In Rhino, a resource adaptor (RA) provides the interface between the application (Sentinel VoLTE) and the network. Sentinel VoLTE makes use of a number of Resource Adaptors, for purposes ranging from database connections to network integration.

Note For explanation of the deployment types see Deployment Structure
Tip All these RAs can be viewed and configured using the Sentinel Element Manager. Future releases of Sentinel will have resource adaptors to support other protocols, such as Diameter CCA. Customers can also add their own resource adaptors, using the Sentinel VoLTE SDK.
