Ok. That helped. Now connected to the controller via serial. Now for the WLAN connection. Hopefully I can figure that one out from the 9 pg WLAN guide I printed out...will let you know. For those of you having trouble connecting via serial here is a step by step for beginners and those who don't know how to get to the place where you change the COM settings on your PC or Notebook. The instructions are for XP Pro computers.

Right click on the my computer icon on your desktop
Select "manage"
Open "ports" in list by changing the + to -
Double click on com port
Select the port setting tab
Click on the advanced button
From the drop down menu change port setting to Com1 and click Ok.
Reopen the manage tool to make sure COM1 is now the default for the computer.

Next make sure the Profilux is set to COM1 for the serial connection by going into the EXTRAS menu. Once this is done reopen the Profilux software from your PC or Notebook and it should work like a charm. Hope this helps those who are a little PC challenged...

Hi Scott,

thanks for your instructions, i think they will help other users.

And there is an easier way:
It is not neccessary to change the PC's COM-Port-number in the device manager. As i described above you can change the COM-Port in ProfiLuxControl: Click the button "..." next to "Connect" and do the correct settings, please see my attachment "Connections.dat" above.

One thing i don't understand:
"Next make sure the Profilux is set to COM1 for the serial connection by going into the EXTRAS menu" - but: there you can set the device address, not the COM-Port. The device address can remain "1".
->it is not neccessary to alter this setting - just edit the COM-Port under "Connections" in ProfiLuxControl.

Ok best thing to do is pm me with your email addresses i can then fire it off to you all in one hit.

I tried uploading it here but the file is too big. i will have a go and transfer it to PDF and have another go later as it is 8am over here and you guys will be still snoring away!!

In the mean time as i said drop me some pms and i will do a bulk send, just let me know you got it just in case it end up a spam sandwich in your bulk forlder
