Hi, I posted a follow up question on a thread, and want to ask some more questions - instead of latching on to that one, I just started this one:
I love my profilux, but want to take more advantage of it's capabilities, specifically, an ability to monitor my tank's params from outside my home, and to get email alerts. The answer I got is below, but some more questions:
Do I need any of the add ons (the network add-on) to make this work?
How would I set it up to send emails?
Can I just run a network cable from the profilux to my router?
Thanks!

Perhaps this will help:
Access to your ProfiLux aquarium computer from the outside...
To access your home net work with connected ProfiLux from the outside, the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
- Active ProfiLux webserver
- Firm domain or IP (e.g. via DynDNS service)
- Forwarding of HTTP-requests (Port 80) in the router to the internet IP-address of your ProfiLux aquarium computer
Proceed as follows:
1.Check the function of the ProfiLux webserver in your local network.
2.Register yourself at a DynDNS service. (e.g. dyndns.org)
3.Install the DNS-activation software of this service.
4.Check the function of the DynDNS service.
5. Define the passwords for the accesss to your ProfiLux (PL Control)
6.Configurate your router in a way that incoming HTTP requests on port 80 are redirected to the IP-address of your ProfiLux aquarium computer. (look at router manual)
Now you can configurate from each web browser worldwide and from each mobile phone with internet your ProfiLux aquarium computer.
P.S. If you have furthermore questions regarding this topic, please open a new thread because it won't fit in "Customer's aquariums and terrariums" anymore - thanks...
