Definition
The miner web UI is the browser-based control panel that an ASIC miner serves from its own control board. You reach it by typing the miner's IP address into a web browser and logging in. It is where operators configure mining pools, watch live hashrate and per-board temperatures, adjust fan and tuning settings, and launch firmware updates. For most owners it is the primary day-to-day interface to the machine.
What it exposes
Stock Antminer-class firmware builds the web UI on a lightweight embedded web server, presenting status, configuration, and system pages. Typical sections let you set up to three pools in priority order (so the miner fails over if the primary drops), view the running firmware version, take a config backup, and trigger firmware flashing. Alternative firmware builds offer their own dashboards with similar functions plus extra tuning controls.
Reaching and securing it
To open the UI you first need the device's address, which IP Reporter or a network scan can reveal. Because the panel controls payouts and power, change the default password immediately and keep miners on a management network that is not exposed to the public internet. Power users who need lower-level control than the panel provides sometimes turn to SSH access, where the firmware permits it.
See our Antminer setup guide for a tour of the web UI's configuration pages.
