WLAN cannot connect

[Matthias]

some operating systems and/or drivers have problems with COM-numbers above 9

please change it in the device manager (something between 1...9), change it in ProfiLuxControl accordingly

Thanks Matthias, I will try it accordingly.

For the USB connection, should I choose COM3 in the PII Ex? It shouldn't be COM1, right?

I don't understand

For the USB connection, should I choose COM3 in the PII Ex? It shouldn't be COM1, right?

the COM numbering in the ProfiLux can't be changed and doesn't matter

e.g. "COM3" for the PLM-USB in the ProfiLux has nothing to do with "COM3" in the windows device manager

There are totally three options for me to choose in PII Ex for COM ports, they are COM1 - SERIAL; COM2 - WLAN & COM3 - SERIAL. I just want to confirm whether USB Apart always refers to COM3.

Actually, I did many test today for USB Adapter connection, unfortunately no connection too. What I did as follows:

1. Removed USB Adapter and WLAN card from PII Ex, then inserted USB Adapter only to Controller, NO CONNECTION.
2. Reset the Controller to Factory Setting and tried, NO CONNECTION.
3. Tried to connect by two different computers (VISTA and Windows 7), NO CONNECTION.

I would like to send you some pictures and video which were taken during my settings to Control.









Matthias, thanks for your help during these two days and I do hope to get the problem solved as I saw quite a lot of cases solved successfully in this Forum.

Thanks in advance.

is this the newest Prolific driver?

Yes, that was downloaded and installed. The worst is I cannot find the RS232 serial cable which cannot be used to upgrade the Firmware of Profilux II Ex.

Driver was downloaded here

Hi Matthias,

No connection today too, can have any further advice from you?

I will try to connect the Controller by using another XP computer, I tried VISTA and WINDOWS 7 already. Hope it can help.

Hi Matthias,

I am sorry to tell that I still could not get my PC connected to the Controller. I tried my XP yesterday, same connection problem happened to me.

I bought a WLAN at the very beginning, I then bought another USB Adapter because of failure connection of WLAN. I get the same connection problem with my USB Adapter too.

I really get a big head right now and don't know what I do next.

Could you tell what I have to do next for this issue.

Thanks in advance.

there is one thing left

I saw you are using a far eastern windows - maybe it is a compatibility problem

any chance of testing it on a PC with English windows?
