Ericsson LCR

Just a couple of pointers regarding LCR on the Ericsson BusinessPhone. Ensure the time has been set on the PABX (especially if you have cold-started a system with existing LCR and suddenly you can't understand why LCR doesn't work). Recently my LCR also failed to work, and the only solution I found was to re-enter the data in the Destination Number Table.

Generating Pin Codes

Budgets are popular. No other way. There is a need to keep people in check, monitor their activity, etc. So if you have ever had to be the unfortunate techy who has to generate a hundred pin codes, you very likely ran out of randomly generated numbers from your head. Try the following:



Using Calc of Open Office, insert the following code: =INT(RAND()*9999)
Use drag and fill, copy this command until it fills as many cells as you need codes. The above command will generate random numbers between 0 and 9999.
