Title: Spondoolie SP31 not getting an IP address
Post by: DieJohnny on September 07, 2017, 10:01:44 PM
I am running a Spondoolie SP31 using 110V. I have an ethernet that I know works plugged into the miner, but my ASUS router is not assigning an IP address that I can tell. My Titan shows up just fine on this router with an IP. However, the Spondoolie never gets an IP. Lights are blinking on both the router and the miner as though the connection is active.

How do i debug this problem?

From the SP31 User Guide:

Appendix B. Find Your Unit IP Address
If you connected the SP31 to your network but cannot open the management console by typing myminer.io in the
browser (see the SP31 Quick Start Guide), you can enter the unit IP address instead.
To find the IP address you can use one of the following methods:
Router Management Console
Log into your router management console and find the list of connected devices with their IP address. In the list of
connected devices, look for an entry beginning with “miner” and enter its IP address in the browser.
IP Scanner
Run an IP scanner to scan for devices connected to your network. You can download Angry IP Scanner from
http://angryip.org/download (or use any other IP scanner of your choice). In the list of devices, In the list of
connected devices, look for an entry beginning with “miner” and enter its IP address in the browse

If you're not having any luck with your router, I'd try the suggested IP scanner.
If you're still out of luck, I'd hard reset the miner and check again.

I'd also check if the miner is connecting to the wrong address range (e.g. 192.168.0.X, but your router is set to take addresses on 192.168.1.X).

Scanner isn't picking up the device, it is likely configured wrong but you have to access the web page to change the settings (classic chicken/egg problem). It seems I can directly connect to the miner using USB or serial, but cannot find any instructions on how this would be possible.

Does anyone know if there should be an SD card in the MicroSD slot? Right now there is nothing inserted.
