Title: Bitmain Antminer S3 on MAC OSX
Post by: collins6542 on April 16, 2015, 05:41:47 AM
Hey all,

I know the S3s are standalone.. i am having issues connecting with it to configure it... any suggestions? I went through Doges comprehensive guide but since i am running a different OS I was not able to follow 100%.

OS has nothing stopping it from configuring S3.  Are you able to access miner?

Thats what I am having difficulty doing is changing the subnet from 0 to 1.

Plug a ethernet cable from your laptop to the miner directly.

In your laptop's network settings, configure your Ethernet card with a static ip in the same range subnet as your miner.

Example: If your miner is at 192.168.1.99.  Set your computer to something else 192.168.1.34

Now you will have access to your miner with your internet browser.

Yes this is correct. I was used MAC OSX with S3 last year. May be you have a difficulty to find networking settings in OSX. Open System Preferences and look for Network icon. On the left side choose Ethernet and there is a settings on the right side of panel. Just change the value in the Configure IPv4 from DHCP to manual address and put IP mentioned above.
I recommend to switch your S3 for using DHCP and then switch back you Mac to DHCP too. Next time will work without any changes to network configuration.
