Orchid Dialler Discount

Still no joy with the client, the serial number on my account is the old V4+ dialer box i had, so when i update I may be changing someone elses configurations!
Out of interest, any idea how that came about?
Did you buy it second hand.0 -
No, i had bought the original 4 wire one from orchid, then when i moved, i got the ring back you sometimes get on them, so they swapped it for me with the 2 wire version, when both dialers were on my coffe table, my little daughter peeled off the serial numbers on the back (she was very proud of this!) So it was pot luck which sticker came from which box!0

So..if Orchid went bust and switched off their server how would I update my dialler?
OTOH, I seem to recall sales of 400,000 units (worldwide - Australia to Argentina) being mentioned somewhere and, as the drop-down lists within CW Client reveal some pretty unusual numbers and codes, I'm fairly certain the population is pretty substantial.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.

I had thought about that, I wonder if they would let have the source code if they were going to finnish then maybe we could host our own server or even an MSE version.
You ever done it manual Heinz? seems to me it would be quite tricky to make sure it's all right and working.Welcome To Orchid Electronics (UK)
Description
Orchid Electronics Limited (Hong Kong) was founded in 1996. The company's major business areas are the development and manufacture of quality electronics products for international markets. The Hong Kong operation is run from its Kwun Tong offices by Hong Kong MD Mr Ken Lew. In 1997, in conjunction with its then UK partner Dialogue, Orchid developed a range of Least Cost Routing (LCR) products for the UK and other European markets. Since then Orchid has manufactured more than 1.5 million Line Powered LCR Diallers and Telephones.
In late 1998 the factory re-located to Dong Guan, about 100km north of Hong Kong. The 3000sq. m building houses the production lines, material control, warehouse and engineering development areas of the company.
In April 2000, the bonding laboratory was established in the factory. The efficiency and quality of the bonding laboratory has improved rapidly ever since. It is now handling all bonding processes needed for production. The first Surface Mounted Technology (SMT) component insertion line was installed in October 2001.This enabled the company to improve the production process to an even higher level of precision. The latest development in early 2002 was in the enhancement of the production line to manufacture up to 2.4Ghz RF Telecom equipment. This enables the factory to produce DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Technology) for the European markets. Launching its first DECT phone with built in LCR in October 2002. In September 2003, Orchid in conjunction with Philips, developed its first low-cost, non-GAP range of cordless digital phones. In 2003, Orchid set up its UK office to help manage its expanding product and customer base.0 -

Seriously though, the link to the procedure for V4/V4+ LCRs is broken at the moment but the Ranger 400 equivalent is: http://www.orchid-electronics.com/V4DECTMPG. As you'll see, it's pretty basic by comparison with CW Client.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.
