3. ENTER THE MINER CONSOLE
By default, the miner uses Static IP to access the control webpage of the miner.
Input 192.168.1.254 into the browser, then click ‘Enter’ to enter the miner’s 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.

need, then click the “Save” to save it.
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.
