Profilux II plus aquarium controller

[big blue]

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.

Hi All!

My name is Matthias, i am leading devloper (and BTW boss) of GHL.

Because we have had vacation the last days i could not response earlier.

However i'll try to give the best support here, let's start.

@niloc
These points are not correct:
- you assigned the port to 10002 - but as in the tutorial mentioned it must be 10001 (and please set the checkbox "Raw Data")
- you set the WLAN to default - by doing this all prevoius WLAN settings are lost, please do the settings with deviceinstaller again. The setting WLAN to defaults should only be done if there had been made confusing settings and it is not possible to establish a connection (eg setting WPA password and forgetting this)
- please disable the router function - this is only useful if you connect a second ProfiLux to your current device
- hyperterminal can't be used to establish a connection and to alter settings

I think that's it. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

@big blue
Thank you for coming to this forum and giving support

@All
I am glad (and proud) our ProfiLux now is available in North America - thanks to Jason and his staff - I hope you will enjoy your new aquariumcomputer!

Greetings

Colin, you are welcome, was not a big work for me to translate it. I made the manual because it took me the last time also some hours until I figured out how to get the WLAN card into my network. But just to give everybody here the right impression, it is not the Profilux who is the hard part to set up; it is the WLAN and Router of the home-network.

Please be informed that there is already a large potential of know-how related to the Profilux controller in the www.aqua-it.de forum and you are welcome to post your questions there in the English section. There are a lot of other Profilux users who will answer your questions much faster than here where we found your questions only with a hint of Matthias.

Regards
big blue

BTW to the staff of this forum: it is not my intention to draw away your users here.

thanks for the manual big blue but when i go into device/installer it does not locate any lantronix device. and if does locate one after about 15 searches it will lose the connection during setup.
