How to Download IP Reporter and Use it to Find IP

Start with safety and logs

Power down before opening a miner, label cables before moving boards, and capture logs before repeated reboots erase useful evidence. Record model, firmware, pool, uptime, fan speed, temperature, reject rate, chain count, and the exact error text.

Confirm the fault class

Separate configuration faults from hardware faults first. Pool errors, DNS failures, bad worker names, overheating, weak power, fan faults, and missing hashboards can look similar from the dashboard but require different fixes.

Document the test path

Change one variable at a time and keep the before/after result. Note cable swaps, PSU swaps, firmware changes, pool changes, fan replacements, ambient temperature, and whether the fault follows a hashboard, control board, network, or power source.

When to escalate

Escalate to professional repair when there is a burned smell, melted connector, breaker trip, corrosion, repeated hashboard loss, liquid exposure, or a board-level fault that returns after a basic cable, power, firmware, and airflow check.

After the fix

Run the miner long enough to confirm stable accepted hashrate, fan behavior, chip temperature, reject rate, and pool-side reporting. A dashboard that looks normal for five minutes is not enough evidence for a recurring power, heat, or hashboard fault.

IP Reporter is a tool that helps you find the IP address of your miner, which can be particularly useful when the miner’s IP is set to DHCP mode. Follow these steps to download and use IP Reporter:

Download Method:

  1. Visit the official Bitmain website at https://www.bitmain.com. Navigate to “Customer Support” and then “Firmware Download.
  2. On the left side of the “Firmware List”, select “Others”. Then, on the right side, select “IP Reporter”.
  3. Alternatively, you can directly download the software from this link: https://file12.bitmain.com/shop-product/firmware/IP%20Reporter.zip

Notes:

  • The default IP mode for new miners is DHCP, meaning there is no fixed IP. If your miner has a fixed IP, you can still use IP Reporter to confirm the IP.
  • IP Reporter is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 10. It is not compatible with other operating systems.
  • For IP Reporter to work, the miner and the computer must be on the same network segment.

Precautions for Use:

  • Before using IP Reporter, you must decompress the downloaded files. You can place the decompressed files in any folder.
  • The miner must be operating normally.
  • The computer and the miner should be on the same network.
  • When opening IP Reporter for the first time, the software will request network permissions. Click “Allow Access” to proceed.

Instructions for Use:

  1. Open IP Reporter and click “Start”.
  2. Press the IP button on the miner for 1 second and then release it.
  3. The miner’s IP will appear on your computer screen.
  4. Click “OK” to close the pop-up window.
  5. If you wish to continue, click “Skip”, and press the IP reporter button on the miner again.
  6. To pause the software, click “Stop”.
