Profilux II plus aquarium controller

Psyire · #1 02-16-2007, 04:16 PM

I'm not sure about WLAN, but with LAN I did not have to connect with the serial cable first. I just installed and configured the Lantronix software and the COM redirector and it worked with no problems at all. Ofcourse, WLAN could be different? not entirely sure...

mnsps, you do have to use the serial cable intially to do all the settings. but i have the EXACT same problem as you. i tried for a week and gave up and still have not hooked it up. i would do all the setting with the serial cable hooked up and when i would disconnect it and try to connect it was lost. a couple pages back big blue posted his way of connecting to wlan, you could try that and see if it helps

niloc,

The WLAN was a big reason why I purchassed this controller. My computer is upstairs with my aquarium being downstairs, so WLAN is a must. What type of wireless router are you using?

niloc16,

At what point during the installation are you supposed to disconnect the serial cable? Do you need to turn the Profilux controller off and then back on once the serial cable is disconnected? It's not very clear in the instructions.

Also have you updated your firmware yet?

Have not updated my firmware yet. One day I went out to check and see if the download was available and it was. The next day I went out to do the update and the download was not there? I went out there yesterday and it was there, went out there today and it's missing again. Am I going to the wrong site? Here is the link were I'm going to: http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari.../download.html. Do you know what new functionality the update offers? All the new text included in the updated English manual is German
