After the user has created a Transmission rates kind, he can assign it to a transport container (STM types, Ethernet types, WDM types, ...).

An example is shown below where the Transmission rates kind STMLink was assigned to STM-16 while STMLink3 was assigned to STM-1:

Please keep in mind that the user now also has the possibility to assign an Abbreviation to the Transmission rates kind, which can be referenced directly in the autonaming field via <transrate.shortname>.

Similarly, the user can retrieve the name of the Transmission rates kind in the autonaming field via <transrate.kind.name >.
