Sorry, not sure what you mean by this?

To clarify, I'm using the actual Avalon Controller created by Canaan. I understand it's an RPI as well but I don't know anything about them..

The issue here with configuring the router/switch is that we're using this for my company (free electricity). The rig is to be used at my office that employs 20 people. ALL of their computers go through this switch. Hence me not wanting to change any settings on a router level. Is there any way just to change the computer settings only? I'm also confused because your post references 192.168.1.x as the correct setting but others have told me 192.168.0.x - which is correct and what do I enter as 'x'? Just any 1-3 digit number I wish?

Thanks!

Forgive me if these are very "newbie" questions. I'm actually hoping they are because the result will be a very straightforward answer to ease my frustration, lol.

#1
My primary issue is that I cannot access the AvalonMiner dashboard where I can enable settings on the controller and complete setup to actually start mining. This stems from the fact that every time I type in "192.168.0.100" in Google Chrome browser, I get the same result which is a 10-12 sec load time with an end result of "site cannot be reached"

I've tried updating my IP and DNS settings exactly as they're pictured in the setup guide directly from Canaan to no avail. Am I missing something here? It plagues me to no end to know that I'm this close to being able to mine but a network/ip/DNS issue is stopping me. I have 0% skill when it comes to this stuff so any help is appreciated.

Another related question is: I intend on using my laptop to route my Avalon controller to, but it only has 1 Ethernet port. Which of the following do I do?
- Route ethernet cable from controller to laptop and then simply connect to internet via WiFi with laptop
- Purchase some sort of splitter or extension so I can plug into Ethernet port and create 2 Ethernet ports, of which 1 would go to controller and the other would go to wall
- or.. Plug my computer into the ethernet port in wall and plug the controller into a different ethernet port in wall (would they both still be on "same network"?)

I'm really eager to get going guys and your help is very much appreciated!! I have 1 Canaan AvalonMiner 741 unit here and another on the way. I intend to get these kinks worked out before the other arrives in 1-2 days, so it will be smooth sailing from then on out Thanks

Working! Thank you

I'm not seeing a green wire on the MB cable unfortunately. On either side :/ Should I try one specific pin in the 24 pin connector? Also, am I just bending the paperclip in a U to touch it to the other side of the same MB connector cable? Or do you mean touch the other end to a different cable entirely, such as one that's connected to the rig? Sorry if these are dumb questions - just want to be specific to make the best use of your time. Thanks for any/all help! - Ryan

Hello, I just took delivery of a Canaan AvalonMiner 741 (7.3TH/s model). A few folks have suggested running the 1600w Sorcerer PSU which is what the unit came with when I purchased. I should say before anything that I'm limited to a 110v standard house outlet. It happens to be in my corporate office at my company but you get the idea.

After plugging the unit in and realizing that nothing was turning on, I was provided feedback that the 1600w PSU may be too large for a standard wall outlet. I ran over to MicroCenter and picked up an EVGA 1300W SuperNova G2 which is actually the PSU that came recommended by the mfgr.

Upon plugging in and connecting the 6-pin's X6, still nothing. Just absolute silence, no fan spinning nothing.

What do you guys think the issue is? I figured the 1300w unit would very easily run as information online has told me that it technically should accept up to 2400W, even in the states.

Is there a standard practice I can go about checking the PSU and the AvalonMiner (*fingers crossed it's not that) to ensure what exactly is occurring? Thanks!
