Re: Interpretation of rack number

Back in time when it was ATM in the lab, one would need to convert a
rack number into hex to use it in ATM configuration bits. Now imagine
all the stress during the lab and a rack number say 11 (which is not
unusual for Brussels facilities). It happened to my friend and he lost
30 minutes trying to get why the hell is ATM circuit not coming up with
such a simple configuration. :-) I learned this from him and was
watching for that pitfall, but I got rack number 05. :-)
