I'm having a little trouble setting up my apex so i can access it across the internet, i got it hooked up on my home network just not really understanding the whole dynamic, static network, its talking about ddns, is that something i need help with?

second question: how do i know what outlet correlates to an input, ie how are the outlets numbered?
 
Have you downloaded the guide yet? Very informative reeftech.webs.com/Apex%20New%20User%20Guide.pdf

Outlets are

1234
5678

Both 4 & 8 are relayed outlets for use with dosing pumps or low draw items.
 
Have you assigned the apex a static ip ending in 50 yet? (you do this in the router). Then sign up for a account at dyndns or no-ip.com. Download the software to update the ip address to the site name you choose. Then make sure what ever port you forward to the apex ip is listed in the account.
 
You have to put : (port#) at the end of your string. When accessing locally from your mac
 
ok i got it working on my Mac had the wrong ip address... now back to dyndNs, it looks like it cost money for it?
 
ok, so i went the no-ip wrote setup my host name, plugged in my IP address into their site (got it from myipaddress.com) then input my free domain into the browser and now it brings me to my net gear router, did i do something wrong i thought it would bring me to my apex page?
 
You have to have your router forward the port the apex is using. So if apex is using port 8080, the router needs to forward incoming traffic to the apex's IP address and port.

Then from the internet you access your new domain name.

Apex.mydomain.com:8080

??? i think I'm in over my head...

I went to the router found the port forwarding tab and added the apex, now for the domain nape is item bskussk.no-id.org:port #
 
You need all requests forwarded to the port you assigned in the router to go to the apex. For example use port 1002 and forward that to the dedicated ip you assigned the apex. Then in your no-ip account you will have to tie the domain name to port 1002.


Then in the browser type in the domain name and leave the port info out it will bring up the login.
 
when you say use port 1002, so i should put that into the apex instead of 80 that its currently at?

how do i forward it to the dedicated ip i assigned to hte apex, (which i didn't assign, its the one that was on it.)

how do i tied the domain name to the port?

Got a minute to talk on the phone lol?
 
Got it working... :beerchug:

now for some help with programing my alk doser,

I need to does 60ml on the BRS 1.1ml pump, want to dose from midnight- 6am for ten minutes each hour, it was pretty easy on the RKL, not quite understanding the apex language yet, do i need to go advance to do this? I know I want to use outlet 4 and 8
 
Go advanced


set fallback off
OSC 000:00/010:00/050:00 Then ON
If Time 06:00 to 00:00 Then OFF


Make sense?
You are telling it to dose 10:00minutes every 50:00 minutes And then to be completely off from 6:00am to 00:00 or midnight. This will give you a dose for 10 minutes at the top of every hour for 6 hours.

got it, thanks,

another question what is the programming do you do for the base variables?

I would like to have a button (say the left arrow) for feeding where it would shutoff my return pump for 20 minutes, how do i go about doing that?
