Hello John -
Thanks for your positive comments - I hope you are telling everyone
you know to buy and use Radiator! :-)
In answer to your question, you should *not* use CVX attributes on
your Ascend gear - they will not work.
The real answer to your question depends on whether you are running
old Ascend software on your NAS(s) or new Ascend software. If you are
running old software that uses "illegal" attribute numbers, you
should copy the definitions from the file "dictionary.ascend" to the
file "dictionary". Otherwise, if you are using new Ascend software
that supports the new Ascend vendor-specifics, you should copy the
definitions from "dictionary.ascend2" to "dictionary".
