Doser 2 WLAN/LAN setup

[Matthias Gross]

why are there exclamation marks on all COM-ports?

the only ports for the doser are GHL and USBVCOM (12) which means you have to select COM12 for the update sequence


Artur from our support department wrote a how-to for updating the doser and he can also assist you via remote desktop

unfortuntely he is ill this week (as 30% of my staff, really bad flew)

please send us an email to support@ghl-kl.de in order to give you direct support

an update is not a big job once you have the right instructions

Not sure why the ports have the marks.
I did use COM12 and I got the error.
Remember this is running in Parallels on a Mac.

I will be out of town all of next week so hopefully after I return.

I don't know if this will help or not but i was getting this with my profilux until i updated it then it went away.

This is a direct usb connection to the Doser with the latest control center

 

[trueblackpercula]

did you install the drivers as well?

 

[Anim8me2]

I installed the drivers when I got the Profilux.

Try this, the drivers are embedded in the doser software.

This is the only setup instructions I found off of the GHL support forum:

1. Change from "œAccess point mode" to "œClient mode"
2. Enter the SSID of your router, SSID is the name of your wireless network. (http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-SSID-on-a-Computer)
3. Choose WPA2PSK for "œEncryption" and for "œEncryption type" AES. (This depends on your router settings, you can check it in the router interface)
4. Enter the Key of your wireless network, you find the key on the backside of your router or in the router interface.
5. Select "œUse following settings" under IP Settings
6. Enter a "œIP address", "œSubnet mask" and Default gateway".
Before you can enter an IP address you have to know what your default gateway is.
To find out what your default gateway and subnet mask is, follow this instruction: http://www.noip.com/support/knowledg...fault-gateway/

Step 1: Click the "œStart" button, type "˜cmd' and press "œEnter" on your keyboard. (A black Command Prompt should appear).
Step 2: Next type "˜ipconfig' and press enter "œEnter".

Enter the default gateway and subnet mask displayed in the command prompt.
You have also to enter the IP address of doser, this looks like the default gateway IP address except the last number.
e.g. If your default gateway is 192.168.1.0 you can enter an IP address between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.254
It is recommended to choose a number bigger than 200.

With the latest GHL Control Center you can use the wizzard for this steps:


7. Click the save button and wait at least 5 minutes, the doser needs few minutes to connect to your network.
If the doser do not connect after 5 minutes, restart the doser (unplug power cable for fews seconds) and wait 5 minutes after the restart.

When you done, go to "Administrate..." in the top menu of the GHL Control Center and create a new TCP/IP connection.
Enter the IP address you entered in step 6 above as Host-Name.

ReefRockerLive...THANK. YOU. If it were not for your instructions ESPECIALLY step 7, I would have never gotten this online. There are HUGE holes and assumptions in the manufactures instructions. Thanks to you I actually have my pump online!!

I am getting ready to go through this myself. Any updated videos or updates to make my process go smoothly? I was trying to get the firmware updated last night and get online with no luck.
