Which is Better for GHL: iPad or Windows Tablet?

[Dr. Jim]

I may have screwed up again. I just received a tablet with Windows 10 but I'm starting to think you can't load GHL Connect on it. Is this correct?

If anybody had GHL Connect on a Windows tablet, I'd appreciate help loading it.

I'm starting to think that there is no tablet that will take Connect and Control Center....is that true? :confused:

Thanks.

Jim,
GHL Connect is either a Apple or Android app that only runs on their specific device. In Apple’s case it will run on an iPhone or iPad.
myGHL is the web based way of logging into your GHL products. This will work on any device that has a browser regardless of the operating platform.
GCC is software that runs on Windows only, and must be loaded onto a Windows machine, ie desk or lap top.
I don’t know if you can load GCC onto a Windows based tablet.
Hope that helps.

I'm working on finding out if I can load Connect on the Windows tablet. I found the following (below) on my PC, but I can't get the site to come up on the Windows tablet. And, I don't really understand it but it almost looks like there is a way of getting Connect on Windows.
I googled this on my Windows PC: "can ghl connect be installed on windows?" which brought me to the site that says this:

Jim,
One other thing, you can log into GHL Connect using your web browser on your tablet and logging into the P4 locality. The P4 had its own web server.

Not sure what you mean here....sorry. You mean the GHL CLOUD?

I sent you a pm

 

[Dr. Jim]

Any idea what the "emulator" is all about? Sounds like that needs to be downloaded first? ...then ????

 

[Dr. Jim]

I sent you a pm

Pete,
Thank you for allowing me to call you. I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I'm embarrassed to say that I have a new problem:

I switched internet providers today so I'm guessing this has something to do with the problem. Now I can't connect to GHL Connect from my iphone or an Android tablet, nor can I connect to P4 Cloud from these same devices. I'm sure it's something simple related to the internet change......but I can't figure it out. I do have wifi and can connect to the internet.

Thank you in advance if anyone can help. (I'll check back in the morning).

GHL connect is a app meant for lower end platforms such as Android or IOS operated devices. It will not run on a windows machine. There is no need for any emulators. You won’t be running GHL connect on that.

Now that you have a windows PC tablet you can install and run GCC.
More info and download link here:
https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/software/ghl-control-center/
https://www.aquariumcomputer.com/downloads/ghl-control-center-v1-1-3-2/
You will need to follow the procedures on installing and setting up GCC as provided in GHLs videos.

Since you changed internet providers you now have a new IP address and you need to reset up your devices.

To find the IP Address:

I went to C:\users\woner>ipconfig and found:

ipv4
subnet mask
default gateway

....each with ip addresses. I tried them all and still doesn't work. Do I have to change the PORT? If so, how do I find which one because of the new internet provider?

Thanks.

You need the new IP address for the P4. A few ways you can find it:

• Connect via USB
• Log into your router
• Connect to the P4 WiFi hotspot

What color is the GHL logo on the P4 and what is WiFi light doing?

Ohhh. wIfi light on P4 is off. Not sure what to do.

I found 3 ip addresses (as mentioned) but not sure which to use. :
I went to C:\users\woner>ipconfig and found:
ipv4
subnet mask
default gateway

I tried them all and they don't work which is why I suspect I need a new PORT? I'm trying to figure out how to find the port.

That is the IP address of your computer, not the P4.

You have GCC installed on the tablet? If so, connect to the P4 with the USB.

You can also cycle power to the P4 to see if connects to your WiFi on restart.

I am connected to P4 via USB to my PC if that will work. (If not I can connect to tablet).
But in either case, what would I do next to find IP address and PORT?
Thank you!

 

[ingchr1]

Log into the P4 with GCC and look at the Communication tab under System.

You will need to the enter the new name of your network in the SSID under Settings for Client Mode. If there is a password for your WiFi you will need to enter that in the WiFi Key. Have DHCP checked.

May be getting closer. Yellow light is solid and blinking on P4 but still can't connect.

CLIENT AND ACCESS POINT: is checked

For both CLIENT MODE and ACCESS MODE I typed in SSID box: MyAltice e8d955 (which is the Network name.

I typed the password in WIFI KEY.

Encryption: WPA WPA2 PSK

Obtain IP address automatically: is checked

Only zeros appear in the next 5 bars under CLIENT (but there are numbers in bars under ACCESS MODE)

Should the IP address in APP be the same as the IP address shown under ACCESS MODE (or is that an "old" address from previous internet provider?) And, PORT?

Thanks for your patience and help!

 

[ingchr1]

Make sure you check Save Changes and see if the P4 connects. You may need to close the Communications tab then reopen it to see the IP address it gets assigned. It will be in the Current IP Address. The other four blocks will remain blank, those are for manually setting an IP address.

Access Point is for connecting to the P4 hotspot. You can connect to the P4 WiFi and log into it that way, GCC or the Web Server.

Hallelujah !! That did it! It works! Now I can start to have fun! :D

Thank you Chris, Pete and Ken for all your time and help!! Much appreciated!
