Title: On Antminer S3 is there any way to recover if the page wont load?
Post by: TRN1062 on July 31, 2014, 11:56:46 PM
I received my 2 Antminer S3's today. One is happily mining away at about 430Gh/s the other I logged into once and attempted to configure it but something happened and the S3 rebooted and now I am no longer able to sign into it. I have changed the working miners IP address so its not conflicting and the miner does show on my router at the 192.168.1.99 address. but the page will not load and I get an error saying the page could not be loaded. Is there some magical reset or something to recover this or am I SOL?

You could try resetting it to 'factory default' using the reset switch on the 'front' panel.  See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653) in the Troubleshooting section where it says
"How do I reset settings to default?   - Use a paperclip to press the reset button - located next to the ethernet connector - down for
5-10 seconds. The miner will then reset with stock settings."
If that fails, you could try powering it down and after some minutes up again and hopefully it will sort itself  (some patience is required, it is a slooooow controller, adequate for the task).

(just wondering why does the S3 'show on my router at 192.168.1.99', if you left it with a different fixed IP)

Cheers

Thanks for the helpful and extremely accurate reply. I had however finally found the reset button on my own anyway and yes it did fix the problem and now the second S3 is happily hashing away next to the first. Thank you!

As for the question you posted I had changed the IP of the first one I had not managed to get that far on the second I was still working on the pool and worker settings

If you look and don't see button it can be just a little hidden under hole.  Standard paperclip can get it.
