control webpage (Chrome is the suggested browser).
Cant access the miner console?
Maybe it is because miner IP and the router IP have a different network
segment, two ways to solve it:
-
Modify the router IP to 192.168.1.1,then try again.
-
Don’t want to change the network segment of the router? Do it as below:
Connect the miner and computer with a network cable. Open the windows system control panel, go to Network and Internet — Network and share center – change the adapter settings, the mouse cursor to the “Local Area Connection” click the right mouse button to view properties.
In the properties panel, double click the “Internet protocol version
4(TCP/IP)” . Then select the “Use the following IP address”, fill in the IP
address and Subnet mask as the right image.
-
Press the OK button twice to confirm the changes.Then modify the IP address of the miner (Do it as the follow 4.4) to guarantee the miner and the router have the same network segment.Then connect the miner with the router,connect the PC with the router and select the “Obtain the IP address automatically”.Now you can enter the IP through the browser into the control interface

Note：If you change the miner IP address to another network segment, after you
save it there will be 3 circles keep spinning,that is ok.
IP address: If the router address is 192.168.0.1，you can change the miner’s IP address to 192.168.0.#（# can be any number between 10-253 but every miner’s
must be unique）.
Subnet mask: Keep it consistent with your computer.
Gateway: Same with the router address.
DNS: It is recommended to modify the DNS to the local network operator near the location of the miner. For example, the mining machine uses telecommunication broadband in Beijing, China. Search in Baidu or Google search engine “Beijing Telecom DNS” to get the DNS: 219.141.136.10. Then use this DNS for your miner.
