Hello,
I just received my Antminer S7 with his bitmain APW3 PSU

This is how it looks like when the psu is powered

I would like to know if it's possible to connect the miner to the internet using a powerline adapter like this one I have here

I tried it, but the light won't go green, it keeps flashing red and after 5-10 mins the miner start making a beep sound ( I think it's because he can't access the internet but I'm not sure)

Thanks in advance for your help.

You are right to say that the beeping sound is caused by a faulty internet connection.
Have you configured your pool? Can you access the miner with its IP address?

I can't even access the configuration page of the antminer because I don't know its IP, I used the software Ipreporter and even checked the DHCP list on my router's configuration panel but I couldn't find anything.
I've just tried to connect it directly to my modem instead of using the powerline adapter but the same thing occur, red light and a beeping sound after 5-10mins.

Where did you get the antminer from? If you bought it secondhand then ask the seller what the ip address is/was.

Or download IPScanner (not the bitmain one) and scan your network but using 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 range and see if it finds it.

1. Figure out the powerline adapter link. Follow the instructions. Test it with some easy device.
2. When you got that working, then you can try to connect the miner and setup it by first finding it's IP address via router web setting page for example and then following instructions available in the Bitmain Antminer S7 manual (www.bitmain.com) or instructions available here at the forum.

Yes it's secondhand, I tried with IPScanner but I got nothing.


The thing is that even when I tried to connect it dirrectly to my modem I got the red light and beep sound.

If the person before you had a static IP that doesnt match your network you will not be able to connect. The best way to go about this is to perform a factory reset. There is a pinhole next to where the ethernet cable plugs in, that is the reset button. Use a paper clip or something similar to push the button down and hold it for 5-6 seconds until you see it flash both the red and green light at the same time on the status LEDs. Once that is done give it about 2 minutes to reboot and it will be on DHCP with just the factory antpool configuration for mining. You should be able to see it on your routers DHCP table at this point and you can then access the GUI to complete the setup.

Hello, I already done a factory reset but the problem still remains  ???.

Problem resolved  :D

I resolved the problem by checking those 4 checkbox on my router's configuration panel.

Nice to hear.  :)
Did you get the powerline adapter working too?

Yep it worked fine, I didn't even have to first connect it to the router to set a static Ip, everything worked directly.   ;D
