Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[niloc16]

i was wondering about that. thanks for the info buddy, i hadnt look into it yet because i have not hooked it up yet.now your next and most important task is to figure out how to get my WLAN to work. just kidding. i'm assuming that i am stuck figuring it out on my own because there is no response from anyone that supplies the unit

Have you tried emailing Jason at proline it might take a couple of days as it is the holiday season but he has responded to all my emails it is hard to diagnose WLAN problems with out being there

Just got a hint that you may need some help to setting up your Profilux Controller. I have it in operation with WLAN and other accessories and it works fine for me.

You can also visit my homepage (german language but you will get the picture anyway). Do not hesitate to contact me in case you have questions or visit also the www.aqua-it.de forum an place your questions in english there.

cheers

Please be informed that we just opened a english speaking forum section to give you more Profilux support in your own language.

BTW: do not ask me to much about saltwater Aquariums, I am more on the freshwater-side. But swimming with sharks is quite thrilling (longimanus 2.5m in the red sea)

well i had the unit connected to the computer with the serial cable. i finally figured out how to setup my wireless network to accept computer to computer access in order to connect to the controller, i then followed the wlan/lan tutorial from the disc on all the steps, after that i setup the redirector. i assigned ip address and set the port to 10002. on the controller under communication i assigned the unit to use the router function, serial 2/WLAN and default to WLAN. when i disconnect the serial cable and try to then use the program to connect it cannot find the controller. i tried using a hyper terminal on computer and it does not locate the unit. i truly have no idea where to start from here.i hope this is enough info

Sometimes it is a little difficult to make the WLAN settings, as your card has to be properly integrated in your home network (where you may have securtiy settings). So you do not want to loose connection during the setup and later end up with your card not found in your network because your router would not accept it.

Please find my tutorial as I did it step by step PDF (in german/english) download from my homepage

Let me know if you find additional steps who are not covered in the tutorial.

Hi All!

My name is Matthias, i am leading devloper (and BTW boss) of GHL.

Because we have had vacation the last days i could not response earlier.

However i'll try to give the best support here, let's start.

@niloc
These points are not correct:
- you assigned the port to 10002 - but as in the tutorial mentioned it must be 10001 (and please set the checkbox "Raw Data")
- you set the WLAN to default - by doing this all prevoius WLAN settings are lost, please do the settings with deviceinstaller again. The setting WLAN to defaults should only be done if there had been made confusing settings and it is not possible to establish a connection (eg setting WPA password and forgetting this)
- please disable the router function - this is only useful if you connect a second ProfiLux to your current device
- hyperterminal can't be used to establish a connection and to alter settings

I think that's it. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@big blue
Thank you for coming to this forum and giving support

@All
I am glad (and proud) our ProfiLux now is available in North America - thanks to Jason and his staff - I hope you will enjoy your new aquariumcomputer!
