-API Introduction
------------------
+The Non-RT RIC consists of two parts, described in the sections below:
+ * The Policy Agent
+ * The SDNC A1 Controller
 
-The Non-RT RIC dashboard is an interface that allows human users to create, edit and delete policy instances, for each existing policy type. The policy types are owned by the Near-RT RIC, Non-RT RIC can just query them, so it's not possible to act on them.
 
+Policy Agent
+============
 
-API Functions
--------------
+The Policy Agent provides common functionality useful for R-Apps, for instance:
+ * A repository of available Near-RT RICs, their policy types and policy instances.
+ * An A1 connection to the Near-RT RICs.
 
-To run the dashboard locally, you can follow these steps:
+See :ref:`policy-agent-api` for how to use the API.
 
-- Fetch the latest code from `gerrit`_
+See the README.md file in the nonrtric/policy-agent repo for info about how to use it.
 
-.. _gerrit: https://gerrit.nordix.org/c/oransc/nonrtric/+/2747/
-
-- Before compiling, run the following commands::
-
-    git submodule init
+API Functions
+-------------
+See the following document for the Policy Agent API: nonrtric/policy-agent/docs/api.yaml
 
-    git submodule update
+SDNC A1 Controller
+==================
 
-- Start the backend (you might have to build it first)::
+An ONAP SDNC Controller for the A1 interface.
 
-    mvn clean install
+See :ref:`sdnc-a1-controller-api` for how to use the API.
 
-    mvn -Dorg.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard=mock -Dtest=DashboardTestServer -DfailIfNoTests=false test
+See the README.md file in the nonrtric/sdnc-a1-controller repo for info about how to use it.
 
+Complementary tools
+===================
 
-- Now you can open URL:  `localhost:8080`_ in a browser. 
+There are two additional tools that can be used together with the Non-RT RIC, namely the Control Panel and the Near-RT RIC simulator.
 
-.. _localhost:8080: localhost:8080
+The Non-RT RIC Control Panel provides a user interface that allows the user to interact with the Non-RT RIC.
+Documentation for the Control Panel can be found here:
+:doc:`Non-RT RIC Control Panel <nonrtric-controlpanel:index>`.
+It can be downloaded from here: ::
 
-From the main page, click on the "Policy Control" card. From here, it is possible to create or list instances for each existing policy type.
+  git clone "https://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/portal/nonrtric-controlpanel".
 
-When the instances are listed, it is possible to edit or delete each instance from the expanded view.
+The Near-RT RIC simulator simulates an A1 protocol termination endpoint. Documentation for the simulator can be found
+here: :doc:`A1 Interface Simulator <sim-a1-interface:index>`. It can be downloaded from here: ::
