Grouping TC

Once the user has created a transmission rate kind, he/she can assign it to a transport container (STM types, Ethernet Types, WDM Types, …).

Down here is shown an example, in which the transmission rate kind STMLink has been assigned to STM-16, while STMLink3 has been assigned to STM-1:

Please note that the user has now also the possibility to assign an abbreviation to a transmission rate, which can be referenced directly in the autonaming field through <transrate.shortname>.

Similarly to that, the user can recall the name of the transmission rates kind in autonaming field through <transrate.kind.name >.
