This page is accessible by "Customers" menu. It is designed to help you
generate multiple Customers/Login IDs. This feature will be useful to generate
pre-paid cards. For example, you can generate thousands of Voice over IP (VoIP)
calling cards just by selecting some options.
The idea behind this operation is to use a "Serial Number" which will be
incremented by 1 for each new Customer (or calling card). A new Customer and up
to 2 Login IDs and random passwords are created for each new Serial Number. You
can also choose to generate random Login IDs (to be used as PIN of your calling
card).
Bellow is a description of each of the settings:
-
Serial Number Start:
This is an integer number which will be used as the first Serial Number.
Subsequent serial numbers will be generated automatically by incrementing
this number.

name or last name.
-
Of:
This setting along with previous setting to specify how generated serial number
is used to populate First Name and Last Name for a customer. For examplem, when
First Name is selected, generated serial number will be added to the first name

-
Populate Login ID with:
Each generated Customer can have up to 2 Login IDs. These Login IDs can be random
numbers (used as PIN on a calling card) or can be the same as Serial Number. If

same random number generated for password.
-
Passwod Length:
Password for each Login ID is a random number. To specify number of random digits
used for password, use this setting.

Serial Number will be added before or after this text. This setting is optional,
so you can also leave it empty.
-
Last Name (optional):
You can specify a text to appear as Last Name for all generated Customers. If
you select to add Serial Number to Beginning or End of Last Name, then that
