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.

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.

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.

Hi Scott

first of all: did you select the correct COM-Port?
The device address should be 1, the baudrate needs not to be changed.
You can set it up after clicking the button "...", please see attachment.
Did you use our connection cable (ProfiLuxSer)?
Does you PC have a RS232 port or do you use Serial-USB-converter?

Regards
Matthias

I plugged in the RS232 profilux cable to the controller and plugged the other end into the serial port on the back of my notebook computer. I tried changing the baud rate to see if it was a sinc problem...still no luck. Not sure how to proceed...

P.S. I sent you an email last week from Aquarium Specialty. Did you get it?
