1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Innosilicon A4+ setup tutorial on: December 08, 2017, 09:54:17 PM
I just received my A4+ and I am posting here to help on how setup it

I will start with the basic configs then i will add another section for Advanced Settings and configs

the Miner comes with a standard IP of 192.168.1.254 which can be accessed by Webbroswer

general note: the miner interface is a bit sloppy with understanding Enter for submit you need to clock on the button by the mouse in the password forms or any other form

Basic Config

First upgrade your miner to the latest firmware

  • Change your computer IP address to be within the range lets say 192.168.1.90
  • Open your browser and enter http://Http://192.168.1.254
  • Click System
  • Go to Upgrade
  • Download the latest firmware from Innosilicon from http://www.innosilicon.com.cn/download/update.bin
  • upgrade your firmware to the latest and wait for the upgrade to be completed the Miner will restart after the upgrade is done
  • Log back to your miner

Second Step : Change Miner IP
  • Open your browser and enter http://Http://192.168.1.254
  • Click on Network and change the IP address/Mask/Gateway to your network range
  • the miner will restart and direct you to the new IP

Third Step : Configure your Pool

  • Open your browser and enter your Miner IP
  • Click Miner Configurations
  • Go to end of the page
  • Click Config
  • Enter the password "12345678"
  • Click login
  • in Pool 1 URL Enter your pool Address Including the stratum+tcp://yourpooladress:port
  • Enter Worker Name from your pool example: Worker.1
  • Enter worker password example : 1
  • Click Submit
  • the miner will restart and start Mining to your new pool info

Fourth Step : Change Config Password
  • Open your browser and enter your Miner IP
  • Click on System
  • Click on administration
  • Enter Old Password "12345678"
  • Enter new Password
  • repeat new Password
  • Click submit

you are done with the basic setup now and your miner is up and running
