S3 Miner

[fpm]

Got my new S3 Miners.  Online info says to go to 192.168.1.99, but I can't connect!  Help!

You can check if that's the IP address being used in your router's admin page, or just ping -b 192.168.1.255 if on linux.

Your computer's IP address also needs to be something like 192.168.1.XXX.

What is the IP of your machine? You have to be in the same network (as in both addresses start with 192.168.1. or something similar) to reach the S3.

The router is typically on 1 so for 192.168.1 that would be 192.168.1.1 for 192.168.0 it would be 192.168.0.1 etc. If you check which IP your machine has, remove the last part, replace it with 1 and use it as URL in your browser you should reach your router.

But instead of changing your whole network just to reach the S3 you could just put a cable directly into the S3 and your machine, configure your machine to DHCP and connect that way.
If you tell us what OS you are using we might even be able to give you clues where to find DHCP settings. It might also be helpful to know what you have trouble "setting".

Windows 7 is the OS.  I can't get past step 1, which is to use my browser to go to the antminer site to register my machine. (192.168.1.99). Shouldn't I be able to get there?

Only if the IP is in your network.

If your network is 192.168.13.0 subnetmask 255.255.255.0 valid IP addresses are 192.168.13.1 to 192.168.13.254 (0 is reserved for the network, 255 for broadcast)
192.168.1.99 is a different network (192.168.1.0) and you'd need some form of router that connects those 2 networks. This is independent of the physical connection.


You could set the subnetmask to 255.255.0.0 which would make the network 192.168.0.0, so valid IP address range is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.254.254.

The best solution in almost all cases however is to change the IP of the S3 to fit your network not to change your network so it fits the S3. For this connect a machine with a cable directly to the S3. This machine either needs an IP in the S3's network (e.g. 192.168.1.100) or set to have DHCP enables. The S3 itself has a DCHP server turned on by default AFAIK.

What is the IP address of your Windows machine?  As has been stated, you *MUST* be on a 192.168.1.* network.  To find out your IP address, open a command prompt and type:

Code:

ipconfig

This will provide you with a bunch of information.  You want to look for the ethernet adapter, and under that the IPv4 address.  If it does not start with 192.168.1... then you won't be able to see your S3.  You will have to either a) change your network by going to the router, or b) follow the setup guide for directly connecting the miner to your computer.  That guide is located here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653.0

Ok, I am up and running with the S3 connected directly to the router.  What I really want to do is to put the miner in a remote location away from the router.  Can I use a LAN or do I need to run Ethernet to the area?

You could use a wireless adapter with Ethernet out, and hook it to a hub.  With this setup you can connect from a place without Ethernet cable's ran to it.

[fpm]

I hate to admit it but I am not sure what that is!  Is it possible that you could send me a link on the device?  I also want to run 2 S3's like this.  Sorry I am such a noob.  Been mining for a year but not with an S3.

I cannot speak for this one personally for the following one, I have one that is from the b/g days its dated, but works great when i need it.

Here is a example: http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-WNCE2001-Universal-Internet-Adapter/dp/B007CO5DZ4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406239078&sr=8-1&keywords=wireless+to+ethernet

Basically you configure it to your wireless and get a Ethernet cable out.  You can hook it up to a hub and hook multiple devices to it.  And certain routers can also do it depending on firmware.

Thanks again!  I did some research but I would like your opinion on this:

That'll work but isn't really worth that amount of money.

Have you thought of just running a long ethernet cable?

[fpm]

A long cable would have to go up the steps.  The wife would not approve! How will I be able to control 2 miners at once?  Seems I may have to change one's ip?

[bgibso01]

The netgear one is very similar to the setup I'm using for a couple of Dragons and S3.  I'm using

 http://www.staples.com/Belkin-N300-Dual-Band-Wireless-Range-Extender/product_984938?cid=PS:GooglePLAs:984938&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=984938&KPID=984938

and plug an 8 port hub into it.  My main router is wire/wireless.

[dquancey]

Why can't Bitmain put these on DHCP?

See plenty of people asking this question and quite a few routers these days come with xxx.xxx.0.1 subnets.

I mean, if you are getting into the ASIC business, then should really know about IP address and Ethernet cables and such.

Even funnier is the fact that the controller board of the S1/S3 is nothing more than a router itself...

You've got a couple of options:

1) Put a wireless router in the location where your miners are going to be.  Setup the router as a wireless repeater.  Plug your miners directly into the router.
2) Purchase some power line network adapter kits.  These use your in-home electrical wiring and provide you with network access anywhere there's an outlet.

I'm not sure what you mean by "control 2 miners at once".  However, if you do have multiple miners attached to your network, you either have to assign them static IP addresses (a different IP address for each miner) or set them up to use DHCP and let your router assign the addresses.

[bigbitmine]

I use a power line adaptor which is connected to a 16 port desktop switch. because both of my s3 miners have the same ip address out of the box I set them up one at a time changing the protocol to dhcp and then used advanced ip scanner to find out what ip address has been allocated. Also once i switch the power off and back on again the miners kept the same ip address.

and then used advanced ip scanner to find out what ip address has been allocated.

A well-developed router should be able to display a list of connected clients with their IPs to you.
