Adding a new AVP Dictionary entry

Use the following task to add a new AVP Dictionary entry to the Custom Dictionary or overwrite a Base Dictionary AVP.

The attributes are described in Custom Dictionary elements.

The Diameter > AVP Dictionary > Custom Dictionary page will not open if the maximum number of AVPs (1024) have already been created in the dictionary.
Click the Insert button.
The Diameter > AVP Dictionary > Custom Dictionary [Insert] page opens.
Enter the attribute values for the new AVP, or customize a Base Dictionary AVP by changing fields except the Attribute Name, AVP Code, and Vendor-ID.

- Apply to save the changes and remain on the Diameter > AVP Dictionary > Custom Dictionary [Insert] page.

If OK or Apply is clicked and if a Base Dictionary entry is overwritten and the original entry is used by any Rule Templates, the original entry is used until the application is restarted.
