WLAN cannot connect

[spiderlai]

Matthias,

I cannot connect to the PII Ex controller through WLAN. I am able to ping to controller and also able to access the WLAN web page without any problem from my computer. Can you advise what's wrong with my settings?

Here is my network setup as follows:
ROUTER <IP: 192.168.1.1, DHCP from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.49>
Access Point <IP: 192.168.1.50> wired connection to Router (Access Point DHCP function disable) and it provides the wireless connection for equipment to access the network and internet.
PII Ex <WLAN IP: 192.168.1.120>

Once I changed the settings after saved, I rebooted my controller and Access Point too.

I also bought USB adapter too, connection failure too. I am still learning how to get the controller connected by viewing the threads here.

Thank you in advance...

it seems you have a connection to the PLM-WLAN using the web browser, then it must be possible to connect over ProfiLuxControl, too

were you able to connect to ProfiLux before enabling security settings?

Firmware version of ProfiLux?

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

The Firmware of Controller is 4.06. I bought it on December, 2009 and didn't use it until now. I just tried to get it installed and it cannot be connected successfully.

Thanks.

were you able to connect to ProfiLux before enabling security settings?

[spiderlai]

My router never ever activates the security settings in my network at home, the WIFI is opened for public.

Once I started the installation of Profilux, my WIFI network hasn't no security settings at all, for instance, no WEP, WPA or WPA-PSK...etc,.

Hope I don't get wrong of what you are asking me.

Thanks.

there is only one thing left: are the baudrates matching?

in ProfiLux (under menu communication) the baudrates must be the same as in Lantronix (usually 9600)

[spiderlai]

I didn't change the baudrates in both of the Profilux and PC-software.

Hi Matthias,

I bought an USB adapter for Profilux II Ex too. I give a try on USB connection to Profilux when WLAN problem is solving. BUT I cannot connect to controller too.





I tried the following too -

1. I manually input the com15 port, no connection.
2. I changed Device Address from 2 to 7, no connection again.

Shall I confirm you the settings in Profilux Controller that I input, Matthias?

System --> Communication --> Device Address <my input is 2> --> Com port input <I choose Com3 - Serial> --> 9600 Baud --> Save Now? <my input is Yes> --> then wait until saved --> unplug the power for 10 seconds --> switch on again --> run the ProfiluxControl again --> Profilux completed the autoscan --> then try to connect in ProfiluxControl Software

RESULT : NO CONNECTION AGAIN! PLEASE HELP, MATTHIAS

ProfiluxControl Version: 4.0.8.1
Profilux Controller II Ex Firmware: 4.06

Thanks in advance again.

device address is usually 1 (you selected 2) - unless you changed it in the device, too

[spiderlai]

yes, I cid change the Controller's Device Address to "2" too.
