The attributes are described in Diameter Custom Dictionary Elements.

2. Click Insert.
   The Diameter > AVP Dictionary > Custom Dictionary [Insert] page opens.
3. 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.

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