I am trying to program my DOS to dose Part A and Part B. What parameters do I need to enter into advanced to dose 5 ml of Part A twice daily and 5 ml of Part B 4 times daily?

There's no need to use Advanced control type and create manual programming for this. Just use the DŌS scheduler wizard in APEX Fusion.

You're missing out then. Fusion doesn't need to be installed, it's a 5 minute process to make an account and link your apex. The heartbeat feature and no need for port forwarding alone is worth the set up time.

Try the steps in this link. Bullet 2 might be your problem.

You can use DŌS profiles to accomplish this. But as both zombie and I have said, the best way is to use Apex Fusion.
Is DHCP enabled in your Apex network settings? If not, enable DHCP, then restart the Apex. Wait a few minutes and see if you have Fusion communications. If that does not help, post a screen shot of the network settings, and also post the LAN IP address of your router - that's the IP address you use to access your router's management web pages (it will typically be a 192.168.x.x or 10.0.x.x address). Describe how your Apex is connected; is it connected with a network cable directly to your router, or are you using some other device in the path between the Apex and the router, such as a Wi-Fi bridge or Powerline adapters?

DHCP is enabled. I connect to my Apex through a hub which connects to a powerline adapter that connects to another powerline adapter then to Apex. I can connect fine to the Apex from my computer just can't get the fusion thing going. On the dashboard it says fusion communication error.

Contact Neptune tech support about the Fusion connectivity issue. Resolving that and then being able to use Apex Fusion in general and specifically for fast and easy programming of your DŌS for programming is the best long-term thing to do.
In the meantime, you can use profiles and traditional time-based programming.
Define a single DŌS profile:
DOS5ml.PNG
Since we will be doing only a single dose each time, the Dose Interval is not really needed - I've used 9999 simply because there needs to be something in that field (0 is not a valid value here), and I use 9999 to clearly indicate to myself that there is no repetition desired.
In my example, we'll dose part A at 9AM and 9PM, and Part B at midnight, 6AM, noon, and 6PM.
[DOS_PartA]
Set OFF
If Time 09:00 to 09:01 Then DOS_5ml
If Time 21:00 to 21:01 Then DOS_5ml
[DOS_PartB]
Set OFF
If Time 00:00 to 00:01 Then DOS_5ml
If Time 06:00 to 06:01 Then DOS_5ml
If Time 12:00 to 12:01 Then DOS_5ml
If Time 18:00 to 18:01 Then DOS_5ml
It will take about 42 seconds to add 5ml at a rate of 7ml/minute; after that 5ml amount is dosed, the pump will stop even through the outputs will turned on for a total of 2 minutes at the specified times.

I only have these options: Pump, Ramp, Vortech, Weather, Radio, Vega/Hydra.

It wouldn't hurt to update. Russ and support have records of which firmware added what features and it is possible your apex may have sat on a shelf long enough it's firmware isn't updated for full dos use.

What about the Dashboard version? Is that line not present? If not, that that means that the firmware was updated at some point, but the matching web page content was not, and that would explain why you do not see an "Dose" profile type even though you have firmware installed which does have support for the DŌS.
Update to the latest, and be sure to also update the web pages. The Apex Classic 4.52_5A17 firmware announcement has notes about doing so, and also about updating the firmware of modules after completing the main system firmware update. It also contains notes about important changes. Be sure to read that announcement.

Couple things to make sure you do.
Set the ipv4 setting of your laptop to static no gateway, no DNS, up address with first 3 octets same as apex and last octet different. Subnet 255.255.255.0
Enter apex ip manually into the utility.
