New version of ProfiLuxControl II!
ProfiLuxControl II version 3.02 can be downloaded:
http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...rolII_V302.exe ProfiLuxControl is now able to access PLM-LAN or PLM-WLAN directly, that means without using the PC-software "Lantronix Redirector" (which offers a virtual COM-Port). In the "connection" dialog of ProfiLuxControl II Version 3.02 is a new option given for "connection type": "TCP/IP direct". After choosing this option the IP-Address of the ProfiLux (eg 192.168.0.169) and the port (standard is 10001) has to be entered. That's all. Makes it much easier to establish the connection with LAN/WLAN. In the attachment is a screenshot of the new connections menu. In this example you can see the settings for my network, please change the IP address for your needs. The port 10001 must remain! Summary The direct access (without using "Redirector") makes it much easier to configure & use the LAN or WLAN. We still need the software "Lantronix DeviceInstaller" to assign the IP-address - but we are working on a new firmware 3.02 for the ProfiLux which will allow to enter the IP-address on the ProfiLux directly. We understood that it is has been complicated for some users to configurate and establish the (W)LAN-connection and are working on solutions to make it easier! This was the first step. Another improvement in this version: The time-controls have been enlarged - so it can better be seen if it is am or pm.

New firmware 3.02!
As promised:
The new firmware & manual 3.02 is available here: http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...LuxII_V302.zip http://www.ghl-kl.de/Produkte/Aquari...LuxII_V302.pdf The IP-address can be entered now directly on ProfiLux, please read chapter 3.15.16 Communication. And it is possible to change from ad-hoc to infrastructure-mode (only interesting for WLAN). The attached photo shows entering an IP on the ProfiLux.

Very Nice Matthias!
This is a huge step in the right direction. Now it is much easier to connect to the Profilux from anywhere with an Internet connection. From what I gather all you need to do now is install Profilux Control on any computer (like at work) and you should be able to connect to your Profilux @ home. (so long as you have access to port:10001 traffic on both sides) This is MUCH MUCH better.

Thanks for the feedback!
The connection over internet is no problem, too. I tried this here at home - it works absolutely reliable. These are the steps to establish a connection from somewhere to the ProfiLux at home: - You need a domainname for at home, like www.mydomain.com. You can obtain this at DynDNS for example - Install ProfiLuxControl II on your "remote" PC (eg at work) - Edit the connection-options -> Hostname is now NOT the IP-address of your ProfiLux (eg 192.168.0.169) but your domainname (eg www.mydomain.com). Under "Hostname" are IPs AND domainnames accepted! - configure your router at home: incoming tcp-calls on port 10001 must be redirected to the IP of your ProfiLux (in this example 192.168.0.169) Last edited by Matthias Gross; 04-14-2007 at 06:43 AM.

yes, Michael.
Me & most of USA/CD customers. And all customers worldwide with digital powerbars. (some may have still 3.00, others may have 3.02) I think in sum about 300.

Hi Matthias,
Can an IP-address be entered on the Profilux even if I don't have the LAN/WLAN card installed on my Profilux ? I would like to try to connect using a D-Link Wireless USB adapter, that would be plugged into my RS232-to-USB adapter ? Would this work ? Thanks, Ginzo Quote:

Hi
@Albert: Not all pumps can be dimmed by the reduction of the voltage (AC-side). It depends on the motor type, the pump-producer can give this information. If the pump is dimmable by reducing the mains voltage you will be able to control the pump with our new dimmable socket - coming soon. Vortech: I can't promis this feature at the moment. @Ginzo: That doesn't work. These USB-WLAN adapters are constructed for the PC-side, you can't connect it to ProfiLux. It's the same like connecting a USB-WLAN to a printer or other device - not possible.
