Hey all,
Pardon the brief topic change but this S7 thread seemed like a good place to get some assistance. I'm new to the network side of things, and had a question for you guys about accessing an S7 remotely.

There are 3 S7's directly hooked up to the cable modem itself at the warehouse. I purchased a static IP address and can access the main cable modem config page remotely which lists the miners with IP's such as :192.168.0.5 - .0.9. When I type in those IP addresses from home, I can't access any miners (which makes sense as I understand it.) Can anyone offer some guidance as to what configuring i need to do on the miner to enable remote access. Thanks in advance for any help.

Put a cheap laptop remotely and use teamviewer.
Cable modem has a dhcp server to it is giving your miners ip addresses.
You can connect the laptop and remote control it with teamviewer and fire up browsers to monitor and configure the miners.
TeamViewer is free if you don't have many connections open at the same time. So you would have just one connection to the laptop and it would do all the operations

YES! TEAMVIEWER !!!

When I was running my S2's at an office over an hours drive away, I used TEAMVIEWER.

I also have a DataLoggers IP based remote power switch system. Its a 120V device, but with some industrial relays, I use the 120V output from the remote power switch to power the relay and the relay switches the 240V that goes to the miners. That way if one unit locks up or if I need to reboot or turn off a unit, I can do it from home. But again, that is not accessable from the web alone, I needed to use TEAMVIEWER to get "into" my office, then from there I could do anything ... even watch the remote cameras I had installed.

you can get an ap7911 network 30 amp pdu with a nema L6-30 plug on eBay for $100 shipped.
I have eight. Run 3 s7's per pdu
S5's used to lock up against nicehash all the time. Remote power cycle is excellent.

I also have to agree with teamviewer!  I have used it for years with secure connections.  I have a BTC farm in DC and OH and can remote to both of them with my phone or computer.  I can control each device settings as if I were there.  It is also free.  I would highly recommend.

Bitmain is all sold out of all S7s Batch 1, 2, and 3. 

SPECULATION (without any facts)

Is there an introduction of a new product? Maybe with the new chip.

Are they releasing the new S7+

Are they now trying to catch up?

Are they freezing sales to avoid loss with the increased BTC value?

Just Saying

My guess is that they are trying to get all b1/2/3 out the door, then when they are caught up they will have another batch. Based on the QA\QC issues they had I will be surprised that they will be releasing a new s7+ in the short term. If I was them I would be mining with them and not selling them, at least to see if the price swings to $300.

S7+ can be made from 3 s7's with 6 long hash cables. The chassis just slide together tongue and groove.
Just use one of the controllers.

Yea, those are nice.... my DataLogger switch cost be $0.89 /lb .... at a Goodwill outlet  .... something like $3-$4 it cost...

Just use one of the controllers.

 Once I get my S7's I'll be making some longer has board cables to do just that... 1 controller, 3 S7's = 1 S7 super

Kinda lost me on that one.  I don't know what a 15th miner or 5th miner is.  How does it impact the bottom line?

[dmwardjr]

I just believe if and/or when 14/16nm chips are available in rigs, they will be quite pricey.  

They are taking preorders and have a price for bulk buyers

“The miners are now available for pre-order at a price of 0.87 BTC with a minimum order of 333 miners which is 1 petahash,” Virgilio Lizardo Jr., Head of International at Bitbank told Bitcoin Magazine in an exclusive interview. “This price will be available until November 11, 2015. This winter, the miners will be available with no minimum order required; the price at this time has not been decided yet.”

Don't really know. Would have to run one and see. Cables not that hard to make or buy.

[wolfen]

Was a bit worried about the s7 farm I'm putting together but these babies sing.
Lots of internal/external connections.
Very pleased folks.

[cryptichermit]

Wolfen,
Thanks for the idea. I never thought of that and I'll definitely keep that in my back pocket of options However, I'd like to be able to do it properly just so I know how.

Why not just log into your remote router and set up port forwards to specific IP and port 80.
Then you can just use your external IP address along with a port in your browser and connect to individual units.

Something like this EXTERNAL PORT START: 6969 / EXTERNAL PORT END: 6969    -  INTERNAL PORT START: 80 / INTERNAL PORT END: 80 - INTERNAL IP ADDRESS 192.168.0.X

Yes

Less power
Spare controller actually two.

less pcie cables
less cat 5/6  cables
and it you run 2 s-7+  you save power on 4 controllers plus less ethernet switches.

sine you use 2 cat5/6 cables not 6 cat5/6 cables
