Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[big blue]

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.

I made a update of my tutorial including how you can speed up your WLAN card (factory setting 9600 baud) to the maximum speed of your network. Also I include one step who is important for the first setup of your card.

Sorry guys but I was referring to the serial connection. I saw the LAN setup. If you have any info on that then that would be a great help. Thank you.
