I connected the doser via USB but i cant access it through the app. The doser came out of the box unable to hotspot and a rep told me its in client mode... How do i take it out of client mode so i can use the hotspot?

Sorry I can't answer myself, but I've moved this over to the controller forum in hopes of getting a better response. @Ditto may be able to answer that one for you.

@dbl - thanks for moving this I missed it and tagging me :)

Here a good video once you get connected via USB how to set it up and have it join your network:


You need to download the GCC Desktop software here also:
https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/downloads/ghl-control-center-v1-1-2-5/


Also here on Page 15 in the manual which specially states client mode also :)

Do you know how long it sat on the shelf with the vendor before you bought it? We may need to do a firmware upgrade also and can step you through that also.

If you need help how to connect it via USB to your computer can help on that also.

Firmware is at V1.28 and when I update it, it seems like it goes smoothly but ends up not updating...

@Ditto so I tried to update and the software closed out halfway through and my doser is off without any light

Edit: unplugged and plugged it back and it's back online but still at v1.28. Unable to update

@PegasisR - When you launched the GCC Desktop Software and connect via USB and launch the Desktop App while connected via USB to your doser, does it say when you first connect on the general tab firmware up to date or does it say New Firmware Available?

And you downloaded the version of GCC desktop software above correct?

You can also if you wish, if the upgrade does not work we have another way to do the upgrade.

Having just set up my P4, I think you connect to the doser with your PC, open GCC, connect your doser, go to system on the left hand side and under system you will see communication and there you have to select the type of communication you want to have as the default with your device.

Hope this helps.
