![]() With the shipment of over 80 dosers now across North America in the first week, please find below the required software and also first release Beta APP for Android.
Software https://aquariumcomputer.com/en-GB/ghldownloads Please select from the drop down list the Doser 2 and in the other dialogue box your operating system. Android APP (Beta) https://aquariumcomputer.com/en-GB/g...ads?fileID=216 The Android APP is Beta we ask you to use it as test feedback for GHL please post your thoughts and findings ONLY here - http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/sh...9272#post59272 Due to GHL being a global company they cannot monitor all forums for all feedback so if you wish to participate in the development of the APPs if you could kindly only post on the link above in regards to suggestions for improvement. Quick note about the Iphone - We are aware there are more users for Iphone than Android, however due to the registration process of an Iphone APP it is far more easier to iron out the wrinkles through Android than to keep resubmitting to Apple. The Iphone APP therefore will take longer and we appreciate your patience. Many thanks again for trusting the worlds most renowned doser manufacturer with your dosing needs and look forward to all the users photos and comments. |

![]() There seems to be a bug in the link I sent above, not an APP bug but points to a developer page.
Link to Android APP is http://downloads.aquariumcomputer.co..._V100_BETA.apk updates can be found on the GHL website @ www.aquariumcomputer.com |

![]() If you are having trouble setting up and connecting your GHL Doser 2 to your Android device using their app. this post might help you.
down load the App on your Adroid device here. http://downloads.aquariumcomputer.co..._V100_BETA.apk Once downloaded tap the top right corner and select "Add new connection" Once selected beside "Name" type "GHL-DOSER2" and beside "Host" type "10.10.100.254" then tap "Yes" After that you will see a GHL-DOSER2 icon. Before you can connect to the Doser2 you will need to go into the wifi connections on your Android device and select the GHL-DOSER2 network. Once you have selected the GHL-Doser2 network you can go back into the app and connect to your doser. Good luck and happy Dosing! Last edited by Aqua-Digital; 12-11-2014 at 11:52 AM. |

![]() "There are no technical knowledge required..." Actual quote from GHL's german support forum.
This is what I could translate trying to help. As you can see, no technical knowledge required... ![]() There are no technical knowledge required , however , terms such as static IP address, default gateway, etc. to be known To change the wireless settings , the current GHL Control Center is required . Embed GHL Doser 2 Wi-Fi into their own network Connect . Via USB to the GHL Doser 2 and select the System menu option Then select Wi-Fi from the Mode. Then select the client mode to allow the GHL Doser 2 can connect to the local network. Now the GHL Doser 2 has a fixed IP address should be assigned to select the item and enter the following settings to use the IP address ( Static IP provider: http : //www.drwindows.de/windows-anle ... -netzwerk.html ) , subnet mask, and default gateway. ( Default gateway / subnet mask to find out : http://www.windowspower.de/router-he...8-1_15333.html ) (Alternatively, you can automatically obtain the address, you must then determine what address from the access point to the GHL Doser was awarded 2 ). Next, enter the SSID of your access point (router). (SSID find out: http://praxistipps.chip.de/eigene-ss...so-gehts_28856 ) Then select the encryption and the encryption type , you will find it as the SSID in the user interface of your access point (On the Fritz box is AES = CCMP) . Finally , enter the wireless key , these can be found mostly on the back or in the user interface of the access point . After you have set all the GHL Doser 2 needs a few minutes to connect to the network. If it does not work right away, Start the GHL Doser 2 new (disconnect from current).

![]() Hi,
Thanks for all the info. GHL inform me that they are working on plug and play wifi connection where the software will auto search the wifi connection settings, this will make set up really easy. Unfortunately this could not be completed by launch so anyone with difficulties are getting fantastic support including GHL remote logging onto clients systems and setting them up remotely! Once the software settles down in terms of rapid updates I will be doing a tutorial video to help everyone who may need that bit extra pictorial support. One thing is for sure, GHL have nailed the dosing market yet again with the Doser-2 we simply cant keep them in stock and in the first week of release over 100 were sold across North America and more pre orders coming in. I really am impressed with what they have done and the future of the product with the built in PAB port gives some tempting theories as to its future too ![]() I thank all the early adopters for their support and look forward to seeing the product grow for you in terms of functionality and extras ![]() |

![]() Here is a link to the manual should anyone need it. Every unit comes with a hard copy biit for the latest updated versions always download the new one from www.aquariumcomputer.com
http://downloads.aquariumcomputer.co...php?fileID=218 Thanks so much Scythanith your info is very helpful. I really appreciate the understanding from our early adopters and I know GHL are working hard as I said above for auto wifi connect and auto static IP assigning. In the meantime we are making sure anyone that has a set up question gets up and running within 24 hours. The benefits are huge with this doser the reviews keep coming in so positive. Very proud to be part of this new GHL innovation. Last edited by Aqua-Digital; 12-11-2014 at 03:04 PM. |

![]() I have no issues with the actual Doser 2 unit. It seems like a sturdy piece of equipment and I look forward to getting it purring with the full set of software GHL has been showing off
![]() That link you posted for the manual is nothing but symbols and characters in random order... looks like programmer language or something. Last edited by Scythanith; 12-11-2014 at 05:21 PM. |

![]() So I downloaded both the manual and programmers guide and I can say with 100% certainty that I din NOT receive either of those documents with my Doser 2. Things would have been much simpler if I had. All I had in my box was an operating instruction page and quick start guide which did not have anywhere near the depth of information the downloadable manual does.
Anyone that buys GHL products should go to the site right off the hop and download whatever manuals are on the site and read those first. Forget about what comes in the box. |
