The Diameter > AVP Dictionary > Custom Dictionary page displays all proprietary AVPs defined by the operator in the system. Base Dictionary AVPs are not displayed in the Custom Dictionary list.

AVP names that are defined in the dictionary can be used in creating Rule Templates and in provisioning Rule Sets.

The Attribute Name, AVP Code, AVP Flag settings, Vendor ID, Data Type, and Protocol must be specified in the AVP definition.

If the Data Type is Enumerated, the name of the Enumerated Type is also included.

If the Data Type is Grouped, the list of Grouped AVPs appears in the dictionary.

The Custom Dictionary allows the operator to:

Add new proprietary AVPs and additional standard AVPs familiar to the system
Overwrite AVP definitions in the Base Dictionary, by specifying them in the Custom Dictionary with a different definition. The AVP Code, Vendor ID, and Attribute Name must remain the same in the changed definition.
If the Attribute Name of an AVP appears in both the Base and Custom Dictionaries, the Custom Dictionary definition is used when the AVP is selected in Rule Template Actions and Conditions.
