Got mine as well, took me 3 minutes and 46 seconds to set it up, including unboxing, unpackaging PSUs, jumping them, configuring the miner status, and then running. Pretty happy with that so far. I didn't do anything with IP/Mac Addresses, I just plugged it in and went to myminer.io

edit* about as loud as a low powered vacuum cleaner. However I haven't tinkered with the fan settings or anything else yet, its just been running at 80% fan. Like most asics I suppose at stock settings, its fine if you have a basement or a room out of the way, but I probably wouldn't put it in a living space.

I could not expect less from ishmael

after some nuclear power plants study, this is "vacation time".

folks, a little guide to help you get the most out of your SP20 mining for the next few days (sorry if i'm trying to teach granny to suck eggs, but i've been asked by users who own SP20's)

With the review can we have also some photos of the SP20 ? Or is it not possible ? Cheesy

.

I think they are going to do their own threads

Oh yes , you are right. I've find this thread : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-spondoolies-sp20-thread-872014 with some photos and a great review.

Yeah,

I have them, some photos, and some data at mostly full speed (stock configuration), need to do some low power tweaking, but it will take a day or two more.

Thanks everyone again for the help! I almost had the network admin to come along to help, LOL.

Lucky, if my network admin saw me running a miner on the network at work I'd be up for the chop Shocked

Good and bad news. Cheesy

I got it working after noticing that the standard vendor MAC address is Texas Instruments (from Xian01's post up there) and with a combination of Wireshark.

Bad news: My ethernet port is dead, that's why I didn't get the initial connection. The router will have to come tomorrow either way. Cheesy

I'll let it run for a few hours at least, and report back. Right now at 80% it's quite loud.

Got mine up and running in low power mode thanks to philipma1957's excellent thread here.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unofficial-spondoolies-sp20-thread-872014

Had to run a port scanner on my subnet to locate it's DHCP lease - Located an unknown system with ports 22, 80 and 443 open.

Log in with user admin, password admin.

At 40% fan, it was measuring ~80dbA with my American Recorder Technologies SPL-8810 level meter. Too loud to run in a bedroom, so moved it upstairs to replace a Bitfury rig I still had chugging away at 500GH/S.

It's sitting on a circuit with an S3, and both of them combined are pulling ~1150W at the wall.

More later.

try the asic settings page to see your temps.

I think you can lower the fan. those settings (fan at 60) should be giving you temps at 85c at the chips. the chips are fine at 105-110c

Thanks guys, but I'm trying to connect this to a workspace network that requires me to add the MAC address of it to work, and I don't see it despite being being connected to the same network. (probably because the router rejects its connection). I tried connecting the LAN cable to my laptop directly, but I can't seem to find it either.... any ideas?

Tried, but it's still not showing up on the myminer.io page. I've bought a router off Amazon with 1 day shipping. Cry

John,

I work somewhere that limits access to the dhcp system via mac addresses, surely there will be logs showing the SP20 trying to connect and being rejected. Unless you don't have access to that system.

The SP20 is setup differently to other miners in that it needs DHCP to get its IP address, some others like the Bitmain kit comes with a preset IP address, which requires a different set of hoops to jump through

Nah, no access to that. Sad

I was wondering if it will give a login page if I manage to find its IP? I found (what I think is) its MAC address using wireshark, and have given it access to the network, but none of the IP's seem to give any access at all to the control interface. myminer.io is empty as always...

Can you get to the Myminer.io page at all or page can't be found? Perhaps you have some web content filtering of proxy action happening at the perimeter.

Yes, I can get to it but the page is empty as usual. (with the title etc in tact of course)

Yes, if you hit the right IP address with a web browser it will prompt you for username/password.

Okay, I'll keep on trying!

And I give up. I'll wait till I get the router tomorrow. Cry

With Wireshark you can find the DHCP discover message the SP20 initiate.
Get the MAC address from it and ask your workplace system admin to configure the DHCP server to give the miner an IP address.

Did that, but I'm not sure if the MAC address I got was correct as it doesn't show up on the the network yet although I've whitelisted it.

I thought I got the actual MAC (probably not) of the miner by doing the wireshark trick and whitelisted it, but apparently it's not the MAC here as I couldn't connect to any of the devices on the network via a browser. Anyway, I got a router in the mail - hopefully tomorrow should work!

Thanks again for your help!

I'd cancel that router .. but in the meantime, go here >> http://www.dhcpserver.de/cms/

Install that on your laptop. Take 1 cable and connect it between the miner AND YOUR LAPTOP.
You'll get a "mininetwork" with only two items on it. The miner will receive an IP address from that software.

Then you can browse to the miner address and find out the mac address to add it in your office configuration.

You can also set it to a fixed (known) IP address, add the office gateway information, then plug it in the office network.

You don't need the office DHCP server to give you anything. Just "take what you can, give nothing back" .. that's a saying from Pirates of Caribbean ..

Got it running and connected, but how do I check the IP addresses connected to my laptop on the mini network?
