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

[Biodom]

Ignore the Antminer's "LAN" settings... the controller board on the Antminer S1 is a customized router itself so it's "WAN" is going to connect to your LAN.

So for the Antminer's WAN settings, use most of the options similar to your Mac's (Network Pref Pane/Advanced) but for the main IP Address you have three options:
1. Set it to DHCP (get it's own address from your router) and you'll have to find the IP using inet like you did earlier, but the IP may change at a later date.
2. Set it to DHCP but set a static assigned IP based on the mac address of the Antminer from your router's settings.
3. Set a static IP for an unused address on the same subnet the rest of your network is on (10.0.1.x).

Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.1.1
IPv4 broadcast: 10.0.1.255.
DNS: 10.0.1.1

Thanks a lot, I managed to make it work. Funny, it makes a bit of noise,  .
My head hurts-I've been at it for 6 hours already.

One of the S1 miners does not boot at all and as a result I cannot connect to the miner . 

The ethernet port does not light up with both green and orange lights , instead it only blinks with a single green light. The miner seems to be stuck and refusing to boot. Any pointers or help ?

[ChiSleepyEyes]

been working on setting 3 of these up tonight. So far I have 1 working but I can't access it, 1 I can access and have all the proper settings but wont mine, and the third i can't do either. So far all i've done is entered in the proper WAN information, added my workers, and changed the ip address for all of them so they could be accessed individually in the future. At one time I was able to access all of them and make changes. I'm at a loss currently and i've tried many suggestions over the past 5 hours of trying to get these to work.

thanks for any help

I just got my first S1 today and I am able to connect and talk to it, but I can't seem to get it online and mining.  This is my first miner so this whole thing is new to me, and I'm on a Mac, yay.

So I have my WAN on my S1 set to DHCP.  I was able to locate the address of my S1 on my network, which it is currently set to 10.0.1.75.  So when I point my browser to that address I see the GUI, and I'm able to adjust settings, but after entering in my miner info when i go to the miner status page nothing shows up.  Any clues for me to go to?

Assuming you saved and applied the miner settings, maybe try a reboot?

Do you see network connection in interfaces?  If so the little side green light should blink fast and hash.

I do have my miner settings saved.

In interfaces I see LAN, WAN.  If it matters, LAN is green, and WAN is red but this is the readout for the WAN:

hello

I need some help to setup my AntMiner. I have psu cx500, I can connect to my miner using 192.168.1.99 , I updated all info regarding pool, worker, password ect. , but for some reason something is wrong with my setup. I can't ping any websites using ssh or gui:

Looks like I have a problem with DNS setup ? DNS server is not resolving ? I have miner connected to my 2WIRE router - ethernet cable

My WAN setup:

static address

netmask 255.255.255.0

DHCP disable

LAN setup:

NTP client enabled

Please help !

also can anyone post link wher to download latest firmware for S1?

Thanks

Trying to use Antminer with setup on a Mac, made some initial progress. I can see the miner on my laptop when connected via direct ethernet cable.
Miner has a sticker with 192.168.1.99
I have a wireless router with internal IP addresses assigned as 10.0.1.2-31 and router address as 10.0.1.1
I saw the internal address of the miner as 10.0.1.31 using inet (program) when miner was attached to the router (initially).
External public address of the whole setup, which could be checked during browsing, is 98.201.121.X
I've got a laptop that has internal IP address 10.0.1.5 (gives the same external IP address as everything else on my network).

1. I connected miner directly to the laptop via ethernet, manually changed laptop IP to 192.168.1.254 (it did not accept 192.168.1.99 which was on the sticker), however when I entered 198.168.1.99 to a browser, laptop successfully connected to Antminer and I was able to setup mining configuration.

My question is: what I should enter in WAN and LAN setup fields on the miner considering above info?
Currently Antminer's WAN reads:
static
Addr 192.168.1.99
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
IPv4 broadcast 192.168.1.255
DNS 192.168.1.1

Antminer's LAN reads: DHCP client

What do I change miner's WAN and LAN to? Should I change WAN to My external address and router (98.201.121.X and 98.201.120.X) or my internal addresses (10.0.1.1 for router and already assigned 10.0.1.31 for miner) and not touch LAN? Also my router is set to assign WAN automatically-does it mean anything for settings? Also router is set on sharing one public IP address among all devices-how this would work?

I am a noob at this, looked over dozens if not hundreds of pages on this and other forums.
Can someone help me please, especially if you set it up using Apple mac, but any help will be much appreciated.

Change your miner to to:

Addr 10.0.1.10
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.0.1.1
IPv4 broadcast [blank]
DNS 10.0.1.1

Then change your laptop back to: 10.0.1.5

The damn thing has gone completely lame. both blades dead, the led's on the wrt board are lit but the one under the rj45 connector is dead. Reset has no affect. will try swapping PSU but I fear the WRT board is shit.

I have this sometimes. Looks like your NTP is fine because it resolves the host... I suggest restarting your router and ant... it works for me. I think cgminer causes it to stop hashing... happened to one of mine again last night and it's on a 750W Antec.

Your WAN is up and seems to be working... try doing a ping from the network diagnostics in the gui...

You need to disable the NTP client or replace the addresses with other local ntp servers if you just google them.

Also your broadcast address look incorrect, it should be the same as the ipv4 or just leave it blank.

What is the address of your router, are you sure it is 192.168.1.1? You need to have the correct address for your gateway and DNS.
