    See Configuring Diameter Bindings.

  3. Configure the peers in a Diameter network element.

  4. Configure network access information in a Diameter profile.

    See Configuring Diameter Profiles.

  5. (Optional) Specify the Diameter attribute-value pairs (AVPs) to include and exclude in the credit control request (CCR) messages.

    See Configuring Diameter AVPs for Gx Applications.

  6. Configure the Diameter transport.
