Holy shit boi queef, if you can't look through this thread and see the history AMT has with their customers, you are a giant moron. There are better deals for miners right now, there is zero reason to risk your money / coin on this company. There are companies out there that reliably ship miners every day, and have solid reviews and products. Look at how many of the people here are receiving problem units?
I may be a moron, but I'll be a moron hashing away on AMT miners next week.
Looking forward to seeing that one pic I requested, AMT. Have your rep Josh snap one while there in China, and this deal's sealed.

Great to hear Boi,
Josh will be heading to the factory tomorrow morning sometime and he can take a few pictures of them. We appreciate your business.

How the hell do they alert you if you don't have a tracking number?
The 16 AWG wire from my gaming-rig worked great... Doesn't even get warm with all five cards blasting-away. But I had to also remove the kill-a-watt meter, because it has a limit of 15 Amps, and this is pushing 16.2 Amps. Even that was crazy-hot.
Any-who... Now it is running full-force, holding steady at around 1.26 THs at the machine-level. (Waiting for the Ghash.io hourly results.)
I shaved-off about 80-watts (resistance and heat-stress), by removing all the screws from the case, except the three at the back. I added a single 1/2" riser to hold the case cracked-open on the front-side. Also, I have cardboard air-dams, between the cards. This is just a long piece of cardboard that is folded to look like a "U". This forces the air into the cooling-fins, with excess escaping around the cardboard. The air now travels the entire length of the cooling-fins. The fans are a lot quieter now and the heat-sinks are cool to the touch.
All of the above, also included some wire-management, keeping the power wires across the top and the ribbon-cables all out of the path of air. Finally, each card was also removed, and the screws tightened. (Some were not just loose, they were half-way unscrewed.) Bonus for mounting one heat-sink compressed directly to the other, with micro-thin heat-transfer sheeting. I still have an urge to cut them in half, by height. I can fit ten cards and two PSU's and controllers in that case, easily.
Unfortunately, I do not feel "compensated" by the single unit. Sorry, but that is my honest opinion. That being said... It is also my opinion that you are "still" honestly trying to "do us right". (A few individuals being an exception.)
I should be back online and raising hell myself, soon. But, for now, I figured that I would take the time to post a few words. Lucky for everyone, I do not have hours to post replies. xD

More good news! I'll safely assume that AMT is in the process of snapping that pic I requested so that I can go ahead and pull the trigger on this order. I'm almost thinking about making it 12 for an even dozen since I have more than enough power to handle it in my small farm.

Boi,
Maybe you missed this one.
These we're taken last week-ish but we still have about 22-25 in stock. Does that suffice as enough proof?
Apologies for missing it earlier. Apologies, again, for kindly asking for one more simple pic depicting 10 miners. Show me more, and I will go ahead and order 12. Have Josh (I believe that's what his name is), your rep in China, take a quick pic and email it to your office so that you can post it here. That is all I'm asking.
Thanks again for your timely replies. It goes a long way in this industry - any industry.

PS: I honestly don't know how you're able to handle them naysayers on your thread on a daily basis. You're a better man than I am.
Found-out the issue... However, you are also right...
Normally, the computer is setup on AUTO, but someone (not my original computer)... had setup x.x.137.0 as the gateway for IPV4 assignments of the DHCP server.
That, and my firewall was rejecting everything, not sure how that happened.
If using a router, there is a similar page in the advanced network setup (for the router, get to it by typing the IP of the router DNS)... Same values... but no DNS there... The router is usually the DNS.
This, with using my USB WiFi, bridged to the network-card, treats my computer as the router. I don't have any more free routers to use, or plugs left to operate them.
However, the five cards pull about 1800-1900 Watts (15.83-16.25 Amps) at the wall, which is WAY tooo much power for the 18ga wire they gave me. (18ga wire can only handle about 1800 Watts or 16-Amps peak in open-air, and only about 10 Amps enclosed in plastic-wire-casing, constantly.) This load-ability is reduced, even more, as the wire heats and resistance increases, potentially causing an electrical fire. The wires were too hot to hold, after an hour of running.
Still, five cards gave me a solid 1.25THs at the box and an average of 1.18THs on Ghash.io.
Granted, I have the case cracked-open on the exhaust-side, about 1/2 an inch to allow air to actually flow through better, and I have inserted some air-dams to force the air through the fins. (As opposed to shooting over the top of them, essentially making the heat-sinks active-cooling, instead of passive cooling.) Sooo much easier to work with this setup, but it still could be better.
I have unplugged that fifth card, since I can not monitor the machine while I sleep, and the day will get hot by the time I wake. Add some 90F ambient temps to the already overheated wire and restrictive air-flow, and that is a setup for, well... a nice camp-fire. With the four cards, it is pulling only about 1400 Watts and giving only 1.02THs at the box and 880GHs on Ghash.io. Acceptable for the unit, for now.
Would like a way to tune it... Can it still be adjusted with PuTTYing into it, like the others?
I would rather have it run slightly leaner, and more "energy efficient". Running at 1THs and 1200-1300 Watts, with all five cards running. (Instead of four running full-blast, consuming nearly twice the power for a few GHs more, each card.)
The whole unit could be about 6" shorter (height) and about 1" thinner (width), and 3" less deep (long). Fits in a lot cleaner than the other design and stacks better too!
So now I have to find some good 14-16ga computer power-cable wire. One made for 2000+ watts. (Told you it would have been better to have two PSU's and power-cables. 3 and 3 for a 1.5THs unit, or just smaller units of 3-4 cards.)
I'll take some snap-shots, for those who like that stuff. Unfortunately, I don't have a great camera.

Code:
Solution: If you are plugged directly into the machine, without a router.
Go to "Control panel" -> "Network and Sharing Center" -> (Side bar) "Change Adapter Settings"
Select the network-card that you are plugged-in to...
Select: "Properties" (2nd-mouse or right-mouse click menu)
Select: "Inernet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
Select: "Properties" (below the list)
Unselect: "Obtain an IP Address Automatically"
(Enter the following below)
IP Address: 197.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 197.168.1.0
Prefered DNS Server: (blank) or 8.8.8.8 (<- Setup page expects this, but blank works too, since this is manual.)

Well I received my Miner today, I had ordered it with my brother posting on here listed as SABRE.
It was pretty well packed but I opened it up to make sure everything was connected and it was.
I started up the miner and all of the five cards were flashing, so far so good.
I then tried to connect to 192.168.1.100 but no luck. I tried IE and Chrome but still no luck. Powered off the Miner several times, disabled my firewall on my machine but no luck.
I then connected it and my computer to a switch but still no luck. I then ran a netscan and Lo and Behold I found the ip address. It was 192.168.1.168???
I guess someone must have mistyped it in when configuring the PI.
I then connected to it but the page is in Chinese and the pools are already configured for someone else?
I have tried to change the settings by clicking on the 3 links and all over the page also but can't get anything else besides this page.
How do I make changes to get it set up correctly?

So I understand, you know the IP of the miner correct? Here are some steps that might help you fix this if AMT does not get back to you tonight.
The other alternative I would suggest is pull the SDCard check it in Linux VM. Might be a bit of a stretch here. Download VMware Player (not VirtualBox for this) as the USB support there tends to be easier to manage. Go to Linuxmint.com and download the mate edition. Once that is done, set the SDcard to be read by linux.
Open a terminal and type fdisk -l once you card has been seen by the VM.
Look for that and mount that to /tmp
Altho it should automatically mount to /media/username/stringofnumbers/storagename
cd to /media/username/stringofnumbers/storagename/etc/network/ (could be network-scripts not sure as I dont know distro this is based on)/
If not then post back I can post a very detailed method of addressing these issues. Requires a little bit of Linux knowhow but should get you on the right track.
At this point I would be lost until I have a miner of my own to look at. If you jump on skype tommorrow I can walk you through it and post a guide based on that for others to follow should they see the same problem.

you need to make the gateway some how to 192.168.1.1 . I pointed my router to this 192.168.1.1 and it worked putting in 192.168.1.100
It is connecting to it, but the connection is being refused... (Eg, it is rejecting. It can't "reject" if it is not connected. It is forcefully saying "No, I don't accept your access.")
Again, there is nothing that needs to be routed, it is a direct connection to the RasPi network-card. If I type 127.123.12.1 it goes there. Routing is just re-direction, I could make it so typing FROG would point it to 127.123.12.1 if I wanted it to. You didn't have to redirect anything, just type in that other IP. It is the router that assigns IP's. If hardware tells the router what IP it wants, and that is not one of the assigned IP's, then you have to ask it to forward any request for FROG to go to "whatever the actual IP is", or just use the assigned IP. (I know the actual IP, so that is not needed. In my case, the hardware is saying, "I can be contacted at 192.168.137.1", it is sending windows plenty of packet data, so something is communicating, or trying to. However, it is rejecting ports 80, 81, 443, 23, 22 {http/https/https2/telnet/SSH})
In any event, I assume the blinking lights are an indication that the hardware is not working anyways. Usually "solid green" indicates "Ok, running". Blinking is standard for, "Something is wrong"... even when it is green and blinking.

Any of you west coasters? I still haven't got mine. Called DHL today still nothing in my name or any misspelled variant of it. Come on now.
u gotta change you router to point to
192.168.1.1 most routers are configured at 192.168.2.1
once i did this i can go into it
192.168.1.1 most routers are configured at 192.168.2.1
once i did this i can go into it
I am plugged directly into it... The IP is 192.168.137.1, which is how it shows through the network card. There is only one device, this one. No router. (All network cards auto-swap to compensate for direct plug-in to other computers, no router needed, or swap-over cables.)
Refuses SSH PuTTY connections immediately on that IP. HTTP and HTTPS just instantly report back that there is no connection. (Going through the browser via, http://192.168.137.1 or 192.168.137.100 or 192.168.1.100 as the sticker on the case indicates. The ...137.1 is the only one that gives me actual "response codes" which are all "connection refused".)

I got mine delivered today... Doesn't work... But I got it...
- Box was of questionable condition, well traveled, but well packed.
- Daughter-board didn't have the PSU power connected.
- One screw has stripped threads, trying to remove the cover to fix connections.
- One board had the ribbon data-cable connected, but no power-cable connected.
- The board without the power... the smaller heat-sink was not tightened at all, screws were just dropped into place and setup to be tightened, but never actually tightened.
- All the boards have 1-8 loose screws that attach the board to the main heat-sink.
- There is a sticker with the IP written on it, it is wrong.
- The memory-card has a similar sticker wrapped around it, with the ending IPV4 that matches the sticker on the outside, but not the IP on the net, as reported by windows.
- None of the IP's, (the one on the sticker, or the one from the "network connections details"), works to connect to the unit, with a browser.
- Oddity... the IPV6 numbers all end in %xx That is not a valid IPV6... %1 %18 etc...
Other notes: Lights on the boards, about 6-8 of them, just blink green... on/off/on/off/on/off/on/off
Not sure if it is ok, dead, or what... No screen to let you know what it is doing, where it is at, or what is going-on. Not sure if this is just someone's custom OS on the memory-card that needs a special program, or what...
Taking it apart and tightening the screws was a lot easier than the older designs. Lot less dead metal too, but still a little over-kill. (The exhaust is horribly restricted, defeating the purpose of having the 80-watts of fans wasting power.) It is still progression though. Now if I can just get it to run.
Should I attempt to PuTTY into it? (SSH)

the machine works at 1.15 ths .. soo how will we MPP ? I just want to make my 6000 dollars back .. will you hook us up with some cloud power hashing or something i have these defective boards here from the first ship ment what do i do with this i dont want it ..
I'm not at home but DHL confirms delivery. Will post pictures as soon as I can.
