... with only a partial set of my Antminer S1's, having hosed the network setup badly enough that I can no longer connect to the setup screen on some of them.   

Is there some way to do a hard reset on the S1, such that it defaults to factory settings?  I can't see any jumpers on the network card.

Thanks Everybody!

Thanks Paint Shop Pro, very helpful.

one quick question: if several S1's have the default address set to 192.168.2.99 I'm assuming they have to be connected and configured separately.  Can this specific step be done off-line or, do I need an active Internet connection?

Thanks Guys;

I'm sure I'll have more nagging noob questions in the near future!   

Hi All.  I'm new to crypto-currencies so forgive me if I stumble through this question...

I have 4 Antminer S1's and a 1600 W power supply shipping from e-bay this week and I'm planning on connecting to Polmine, which has an average work rate of 127 TH/s.  Is there some way to network my S1's, such that they all work in concert under one cgminer?  If not, how many shares will I loose to the lack of synchronization?

It seems like the loss would be substantial, i.e. 4 X 0.18/127 TH/s vice 0.72/127 TH/s; like I said however I'm new, so I thought it wise to 'phone a friend."

So hiya friend, what do you think?
