   The Diameter, and then AVP Dictionary, and then 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, and then AVP Dictionary, and then Custom Dictionary 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.
