You have to download some software from the Orchid web site. I did
this so many years ago I can't remember the procedure I went through.
At the time Orchid gave me a username and password. This may be done
automatically now. I was also sent some files of user guides which I
printed out but I don't know if I still have the original files. I
think they will also be on the web site. Anyway, once you have got the
software up and running it should connect to the Orchid server. You
can then configure your dialling plan etc.

I would guess a call via 18185 but without having to dial the
international code ??

I don't know what context this is in so I can't comment. There are
some 'speed dials' in there for example. I also got some special codes
put in there to make the dialling on a Fritzbox more user friendly. It
is a case of looking through the long list to see what is the best
option for your application. People have asked for all sorts of custom
codes to be entered so many will not make much sense.
After setting up you have to make sure that the box has called 'home'
and properly updated. The light on the box should flash for about a
minute or more....if it is only about 15 seconds then it hasn't worked
- not in my experience anyway.
The various 'pages' on the application will give information about the
'dial plan' set up, end user and box details. It is also possible to
find out if the box has successfully dialled home - though I'm not too
sure how reliable an indicator that is.
