APMinerTool: A Step-by-Step Guide to Batch Configuring Static IP

The first thing you need to do is connect your devices to the network and launch the APMinerTool. If you need to assign a static IP address to a large number of mining machines, you can use the APMinerTool for batch configuration. The tool allows you to start adding devices for management, and you can find the IP addresses of your miners using its scanning feature, identifying the ip obtained during device setup. The software can scan multiple devices or LAN segments at once, improving efficiency and saving time during setup and management. When performing mass configuration, you can execute batch operations in batches, such as assigning fixed IP addresses or updating firmware. During the configuration process, you may need to select options from dropdown menus or settings interfaces as part of the key action steps required for setup and troubleshooting.

APMinerTool offers robust network management features. The software supports alert settings and supports alert settings ip, allowing users to configure notifications for specific IP addresses and operational changes. You can define alert settings ip ranges to monitor multiple devices and streamline network management. Additionally, APMinerTool allows you to adjust settings ip ranges firmware, making it easier to manage firmware updates across specific IP ranges. These features help you complete the configuration process efficiently.

Important: Some antivirus software may mistakenly delete the APMinerTool software after downloading and unpacking it. You may need to add the software to the trust list of your antivirus software. After unpacking the file, double-click APMinerTool.exe in the folder to open it.

Assume your network is configured to allow device discovery and communication for the setup process.

There are two scenarios that can come up while setting fixed IPs: Once all steps are finished, the process is complete.

Introduction to Static IP Configuration

In the world of cryptocurrency mining, managing multiple LAN IP segments efficiently is essential for smooth operation, especially in large mining farms. Static IP configuration plays a vital role in this process, allowing users to assign fixed IP addresses to each miner on the local network. By using mining farm monitoring software like APMinerTool, users can easily set up and manage fixed IP addresses for multiple IP segment miners, ensuring that each device remains consistently reachable and eliminating the unpredictability of DHCP mode, where IPs are assigned dynamically.

With APMinerTool, mining farm operators benefit from features designed for mass configuration and efficient network management. The software supports simultaneous scanning of the network, making it easy to detect and configure many devices at once. It also offers robust alert settings for IP ranges and firmware updates, so users can monitor ASIC operation status and respond quickly to any issues. This level of control is crucial for maintaining high performance and minimizing downtime in mining farms, where hundreds of miners may be connected and require regular monitoring and updates.

By setting fixed IP addresses, users can streamline device setup, simplify network troubleshooting, and ensure that their mining operations remain stable and secure. The ability to monitor multiple IP segment miners and receive alerts about ASIC operation status or firmware changes makes APMinerTool an indispensable tool for anyone managing a large-scale mining farm.

Scenario 1: 120 Machines on the Shelf

Requirement: Set fixed IPs in the order of mining machine placement. The key action steps involve configuring static IPs, managing batches of devices, and ensuring each miner is set up efficiently.

If the mining machines automatically obtain IP addresses that conflict with the IP addresses you need to set, such as the machines automatically obtaining the range of 1-120, and you need to set the fixed IP range to 1-120, the software will show occupancy. To solve this problem, perform the following steps:

1. Open the APMinerTool 1.05 software and click on the 设置固定IP option at the top left of the software. This is the first action required to begin configuration.
2. Click the “+” on the left side of the software, fill in the bulk fill range of 121-250 above the “+”, and enter the subnet mask, gateway, and DNS accordingly. You may need to select the appropriate network settings from dropdown menus.
3. Click the “+” on the left side of the software continuously to add the IP segment 1-120 that the miner has automatically obtained (IP obtained). Click 120 times. (If necessary, the added IP can be modified by double-clicking)
4. Click “批量填充” at the top right of the software after adding. This batch action allows you to configure multiple devices at once, saving time.
5. Click “配置矿机” at the top right of the software to fix the miner IP to between 121-250. (The purpose of the above operation is to prevent the IP from being occupied by the staggered settings of 1-120)
6. After fixing the mining machine IP to 121-250 in batch, click on the left side of the software – No. to delete all the IPs on the original page.
7. Click “开始监听” at the top right of the software.
8. To find the IP addresses of your miners, press the IP key from the first mining machine on the shelf, then the software will pop up “当前检测到的IP为XXX，是否加入到设置队列中” click “确定” to add the machine to the setup queue.
9. Press the miner IP key in the order of placement, and each one needs to wait for the pop-up “是否加入到设置队列中”, click “确定” before pressing the next miner, to avoid some miners skip and not join the setup queue.
10. Fill in the Bulk Fill Range option with 1-120, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS accordingly. Select the correct options as needed.
11. Click “批量填充” at the top right of the software. This batch operation further improves efficiency.
12. Click “配置矿机” at the top right of the software to fix the miner’s IP to 1-120 in order.

Once all the above steps are complete, the configuration process is complete and your miners will have fixed IPs set as required.

These step-by-step actions, including batch operations and selection of settings, help you find and configure miners efficiently, saving significant time during large-scale setup and management.

Scenario 2: No Conflict Between the IP Address Automatically Obtained by the Miner and the IP Address to be Set

Assume that the DHCP range 121-250 has already been set in the router; under this assumption, it will not be occupied when setting 1-120, so you can start the operation directly from steps 7-12.

Please note that while the tool is in Chinese, the tool will likely have similar menus and options if there is an English version available. Also, be aware that any changes to your network settings can affect connectivity and you should make sure you understand what you are changing before making any adjustments. If you’re unsure, consult with a network professional.

Verifying and Monitoring Configuration

Once you have set fixed IP addresses for your miners using APMinerTool, it’s important to verify and monitor the configuration to ensure everything is working as intended. Proper verification helps prevent network errors and ensures that each device is correctly connected and operating within the assigned IP ranges.

To start, use the APMinerTool software’s “Start Scan” feature to perform simultaneous scanning of your local network. This will identify all connected devices and display their current IP addresses. For each ASIC miner, press and hold the “IP Report” button for 1-3 seconds to add the device to the setup queue, making it easy to check that each miner is assigned the correct fixed IP address.

Batch monitoring is another powerful feature of APMinerTool, allowing users to monitor the ASIC operation status of multiple devices at once. This helps you quickly spot any issues or errors across your mining farm. The software also supports batch restart and alert settings for IP ranges and firmware updates, so you can respond promptly to any problems and keep your mining operation running efficiently.
