Trying to use Antminer with setup on a Mac, made some initial progress. I can see the miner on my laptop when connected via direct ethernet cable.
Miner has a sticker with 192.168.1.99
I have a wireless router with internal IP addresses assigned as 10.0.1.2-31 and router address as 10.0.1.1
I saw the internal address of the miner as 10.0.1.31 using inet (program) when miner was attached to the router (initially).
External public address of the whole setup, which could be checked during browsing, is 98.201.121.X
I've got a laptop that has internal IP address 10.0.1.5 (gives the same external IP address as everything else on my network).
1. I connected miner directly to the laptop via ethernet, manually changed laptop IP to 192.168.1.254 (it did not accept 192.168.1.99 which was on the sticker), however when I entered 198.168.1.99 to a browser, laptop successfully connected to Antminer and I was able to setup mining configuration.
My question is: what I should enter in WAN and LAN setup fields on the miner considering above info?
Currently Antminer's WAN reads:
static
Addr 192.168.1.99
Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
IPv4 broadcast 192.168.1.255
DNS 192.168.1.1
Antminer's LAN reads: DHCP client
What do I change miner's WAN and LAN to? Should I change WAN to My external address and router (98.201.121.X and 98.201.120.X) or my internal addresses (10.0.1.1 for router and already assigned 10.0.1.31 for miner) and not touch LAN? Also my router is set to assign WAN automatically-does it mean anything for settings? Also router is set on sharing one public IP address among all devices-how this would work?
I am a noob at this, looked over dozens if not hundreds of pages on this and other forums.
Can someone help me please, especially if you set it up using Apple mac, but any help will be much appreciated.
Ignore the Antminer's "LAN" settings... the controller board on the Antminer S1 is a customized router itself so it's "WAN" is going to connect to your LAN.
So for the Antminer's WAN settings, use most of the options similar to your Mac's (Network Pref Pane/Advanced) but for the main IP Address you have three options:
1. Set it to DHCP (get it's own address from your router) and you'll have to find the IP using inet like you did earlier, but the IP may change at a later date.
2. Set it to DHCP but set a static assigned IP based on the mac address of the Antminer from your router's settings.
3. Set a static IP for an unused address on the same subnet the rest of your network is on (10.0.1.x).
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.1.1
IPv4 broadcast: 10.0.1.255.
DNS: 10.0.1.1
