[Setup & Troubleshoot] Bitmain AntMiner S1 180GH/S miner

[ryliou]

...

...

Hit a roadblock, I am using Verizon FIOS internet, the router use a static IP 192.168.1.1 with subnet 255.255.255.0.
There's no way of changing router IP, nor can I change subnet to 255.255.254.0 to cover 192.168.2.xx.

Look like the new batch S1 of IP 192.168.2.99 caused Verizon FIOS customer a lots of troubles.
Router from my last Cable Company is easier to change. All with older batch S1 on 192.168.1.xx is luckier.

Direct cable connection can only works for 192.168.1.xx ONLY?

What's now, buy a new router to add 192.168.2.1 network?

I don't want to intrude in the middle, but if you want to try the steps below:

• 1.  Connect the Antminer to your router/switch via cable
• 2.  On a computer (laptop/PC) that is connected to the same router/switch (via cable or wifi), change the IP address of the computer to  192.168.2.55  subnet mask 255.255.255.0 gateway doesn't matter
• 3.  Connect to the Antminer web url  192.168.2.99 and make changes
• 4.  Change Antminer to  192.168.1.188  mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1, custom dns 8.8.8.8
• 5.  Make sure you save and apply above and wait for it to finish, sometimes needs reboot after
• 6.  Put the computer on step 2 to normal settings (probably automatic DHCP)
• 7.  Access Antminer web url  192.168.1.188 and set pool info

I configured both of my Antminer S1's from factory via wifi on my laptop (dell mini 9 netbook).  I've never directly connected to either of my Antminer to a laptop/computer.

Good luck.

Could anyone/two of you do me a favor? Take screen shot of your ipconfig output.
mine have both 192.168.2.xx by cable and 192.168.1.xx by wireless, but still can't access Miner.
The network cable head green light is not even on for Miner, the rest of PC/Laptop are all on.

I probably need to ask seller for a replacement network/control card.

I'm not running Windows.  I run Arch Linux and Linux Mint on my laptops.  And all devices on my network are  192.168.55.x  subnet now.  That includes the miners, 3 laptops, cell phones, tablets, chromecast.

At any rate, that's a problem if there's no link light on the Antminer S1.  First thing's first, you need physical connectivity before you can access the miner.

Did you connect the Antminer to your router and you're not getting a link light on the Antminer? and you're sure the cable is good?

I had a similar experience and had a moment of WTF. I just kept trying different cables until I found one that worked. It seems the female ethernet connector on the ant's do not mate up well with some connector/shield combinations on some cables.

Has anyone had an antminer that the fan starts at 100%?

I have one in a very cold room that runs at 100% from the start, I fiddled with the fan wire.. unplug replug etc. no help

Is there a fix for this?

Swap the fan controller leads between the blades to see if the fault follows, if it does you are likely to have a problem fan, if not then the problem is in the blade and providing you do not have any dead chips then just physically swap everything about and it is a s good as new

Hello Antminer users

Im using Internet from a USB modem, which does not require ethernet cable.
So is there a way to connect to my Antminer(S1) to the internet using USB modem?

Please help me on this.

Thanks.

[navigator]

I was thinking about getting 2 delta AFB1212SHE fans and putting 1 on each end and using a pwm splitter so both are controlled.

This splitter
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119248
would allow me to split the pwm signal and power would come from molex off of psu.

Would this setup work well?

What kind of modem?
Does it have WiFi?

If yes, then yes you can connect your antminer to it.

Its just a USB modem, plug and play device.

You just need to setup internet sharing from your computer, since that looks like a usb 3G type internet device. Depending on your OS, many different ways to do it. windows would be the simplest. just follow the wizard.

If you go this route you will need consistent power to the modem which means the PC/Laptop has to be on all the time.

I think A 3G router like this http://www.flipkart.com/tp-link-tl-mr3220-3g-4g-wireless-n-router/p/itmd8fsemkzbeqsz?pid=RTRD8FNG6FUTFZQJ&srno=b_3&ref=50ffb4ae-3ad7-4a01-b20e-963cc3f45b7c
will power up the usb modem without keeping the computer/laptop on  all the time.  Am i right?

[samsonn25]

Looks like it would work.  You just need to keep consistent power to the router to extend the USB to WiFi signal.  Now you have options for wireless connection and wired connection. 

Only thing is you cant be on the go as much now with a Laptop traveling outside alot.

[Darthswan]

Has anyone done the firmware upgrade yet?  Any problems one needs to know about?  What is the performance like after the upgrade?

Thanks.

Pretty sure if he is plugging modem into his machine directly he will need another radio (or use the ethernet and connect his ant wired).

Simplest thing would be to get something like this (http://www.amazon.com/EW-7811UN-IEEE-802-11n-draft-USB/dp/B005CLMJLU)

and then setup internet connection sharing in whatever OS you are using.

Last i checked you can't plug usb into an ant.  unless someone made an adapter for that control board? Easiest thing is to do ICS in windows.

Not suggesting you plug usb into ant. I am suggesting that the 3G radio is plugged into his desktop/laptop and you will need something with an 802.11 radio in that same machine to act as the access point piece. Or plug his ant into the ethernet port on that same machine and set the sharing up that way.

To have a gateway you will always need two interfaces (ethernet, wifi, wimax, 3g usb modem, etc)

I configured both of my Antminer S1's from factory via wifi on my laptop (dell mini 9 netbook).  I've never directly connected to either of my Antminer to a laptop/computer.

Good luck.

Could anyone/two of you do me a favor? Take screen shot of your ipconfig output.
mine have both 192.168.2.xx by cable and 192.168.1.xx by wireless, but still can't access Miner.

Hi, changed 4 cables and still no light on both end of network socket.
I'm sure I need to ask Seller for replacement network/card.
Maybe the shipping without static protection caused it to short-circuit.

Thanks.

I upgraded the firmware last week and didn't notice any changes except that my miners started losing connection randomly and reporting my pool to be dead when it wasn't. I've gone back to the old firmware and not had trouble since...
