Ok. That helped. Now connected to the controller via serial. Now for the WLAN connection. Hopefully I can figure that one out from the 9 pg WLAN guide I printed out...will let you know. For those of you having trouble connecting via serial here is a step by step for beginners and those who don't know how to get to the place where you change the COM settings on your PC or Notebook. The instructions are for XP Pro computers.

Right click on the my computer icon on your desktop
Select "manage"
Open "ports" in list by changing the + to -
Double click on com port
Select the port setting tab
Click on the advanced button
From the drop down menu change port setting to Com1 and click Ok.
Reopen the manage tool to make sure COM1 is now the default for the computer.

Next make sure the Profilux is set to COM1 for the serial connection by going into the EXTRAS menu. Once this is done reopen the Profilux software from your PC or Notebook and it should work like a charm. Hope this helps those who are a little PC challenged...
