Strange. Have you opened the units to verify the connections?

Indeed, you can check out my pretty pictures further up in the thread to see the inside Smiley


It sounds like to me your software image loaded is having issues, none of the units I got exhibited those problems, they were just a pain to figure out the DHCP issue. I will drop them a note about your unit, see if we can get you some help.

Put in 8.8.8.8 for your DNS, then power cycle the unit.

You will also need to disable DHCP

Why would DHCP need to be disabled, for some users, they might like their routers etc. to auto assign IP's to which could then be dedicated via router settings.

To be decided...

DHCP does not work in the current software, has to be disabled to get the unit hashing.

Well, here's hoping that softwares easily updated if and when a patch is found.

Even though all my stuff will be hosted, when it does come home to me I would prefer DHCP.

Alright so now i can't get it recognized by the router.... any ideas?
 
I've tried power cycling everything, it is a brand new Cat5 cable (still tried switching it out and nothing) and i have tried two different mickey mouse power cables.


Is my unit a faulty one?

Have you tried using an IP scanner?

Someone commented somewhere that their box had a default ip In the 192.168.0.x range. You might try staticing a PC and trying to find the default IP.

Just tried with advanced Ip scanner and no luck on finding the X1

If the network adapter is out in it is there there anyway to use the x-1 via USB with a pi and cgminer?

Feel free to give us a call in the morning, would be more than willing to get you sorted out.

One thing to think about on these units.

There are 2 distinct pieces of hardware inside an X-1 (this is for the non Pi version.) There is a miner and a management device.

They both talk out via the same NIC... but they can have different IPs.
The management device in my box had no problems grabbing a DHCP address. But the Miner wouldn't work till I set a static IP, turned off DHCP, and rebooted the machine.

The management device is hit by just the IP in your browser ( http://DHCP_IP  ). The miner is http://DHCP_address/LCD. Until you static the IP in it and turn off DHCP. Then you access it via  http://static_IP/LCD

At that point, in my device specifically, the management device was accessible at 192.168.1.20 (a DHCP address) but the miner was a static at 192.168.1.215.

The box will be non functional till the miner has a static set, DHCP turned off, and the box power cycled.

Yes, its a huge PITA. But I am really hoping that the separate management device will have some cool application in the future. You can even see how it will aggregate HASH numbers from multiple devices in the dashboard.

Which device did you do this on? The management board or the miner board?  Did you set a static IP first?

You should be able to get to the original ip without the /LCD. Is that now gone too?

Yeah its not working either and the router isn't showing it with attached devices, and an ip scanner won't pick it up.

That isn't how my board functioned. If you bought from Minersouce I'd call them for support. If you ordered from BA... I don't know what to do in that case.

Yeah it was minersource Bobsag3 told me to call but i am at work until noon today so it will have to wait a few hours before i can call.

I think that's a good course of action. I'd be happy to take a look via WebEx if they can't solve it... but if they can't I probably cant either.

Alright heres a couple more notes, the lights on the back on the x-1 near the ethernet port are a amber one and a green one. Amber stays on and green flashes, also the router says the LAN on #4 plug in (where it is plugged into) is flashing such as it is on and off.

That is how it should be. The flashing light signifies communication between the switch and the Ethernet port on the X1. There is probably a green light on the PSU too.

The LCD is supposed to ship for the units that delivered without them.  Not sure when.
