Help with a Avalon 200 ghz miner setup

[gpeirce]

Need help setting up a Avalon 200ghz asic. I got the an ethernet cable to link the unit to my desktop.  
There was a ip address on a white sticker onthe side of the unit 192.168.1.150 so i set up my ethernet connection on the desktop
192.168.1.151.  Still no luck getting into the configuration screen at all.

Willing to give a small reward in BTC once i get this thing up and running

hey there - I have the same unit and ran in the exact same problem.
Mine was setup on a completely different network (although it was brand new).

Anyway, here's your fix:

1. Download: http://download.cnet.com/Angry-IP-Scanner/3000-2085_4-10045978.html
2. No need for extraction, you can run it from your OS directly. (you may need to download JAVA - if you don't have it, it'll prompt you to do so)
3. type in the IP range: from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.254
4. It'll take a few minute but it'll find it.
5. Setup your computer with a compatible IP, 192.168.1.XXX or 192.168.0.XXX depending on the IP the miner was using.
6. Browse to the miner IP
7. Go to the Network tab, then the Interface sub tab, then click Edit
8. Adjust the network config to match your router
9. Click Save and Apply - close browser.
10. It'll restart the unit - while it does reset up your computer network adapter to your original settings
11. restart your web browser, browse to the new miner IP
12. setup your pool configuration: Status tab, CGminer configuration sub tab
13. save and apply
14. profit

thanks a lot i got it to work for a bit then switched to dchp.  Now i cant get to the log in screen anymore for the unit!

Use Angry grip scanner again and you should be able to find its IP. then use that IP in your web browser to log in.

Thanks a lot! I was able to get in so i set the thing to wireless and not lan.  Now I cant get in again and the unit seems to be idling.  Could I have possibly bricked it?  Or do i need to setup a direct wifi connection (no through the router)

[stephenm]

It probably reassigned a different IP when you switched to wireless.
Use angry grip scanner again to get the new IP and use that IP to log in with your web browser.
When you're logged in just go to the CGminer status page to see if it's hashing. If not you may have a problem with some of your network settings, or some of your pool settings. But if you're on DHCP your router probably assigned the correct network settings, so it's probably your pool settings that are incorrect.

tried scanning with angry and wireless network scanner.  Only things that are showing up are my router and the pc.  Damn thing isnt showing up.  tried connecting with both a lan and crossover cable but still no dice :/

set your laptop to 192.168.0.99 (for example)
connect the avalon to your computer directly with a ethernet cable.
use angry grip again and scan from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.254.. basically redo steps 3 through 6 in my first response.
