Cartridges
Cartridges provide a framework to manage connections with lower level network elements, or session layers, such as, Voicemails, Intelligent Network and so on. They provide an interface between Fulfillment Provisioning and network elements. Fulfillment Provisioning decomposes high level orders to low level orders and sends them to Cartridges. Subsequently, cartridges translate these tasks into concrete messages and sends them to specific network elements.
Cartridges accommodate any kind of network element. For example, UDP, TCP, Telnet, and HTTP adapters.
Fulfillment Provisioning provides a web interface as well as a command-line interface to maintain cartridges. For more information on using managing cartridges, refer to Cartridge Maintenance Commands. For more information on maintaining cartridges using the user interface, refer to Maintaining Cartridges.
