Network settings

Open OS_DISK:/config/network.txt file to manage network settings. You can leave the file empty if you are using a wired network with DHCP server Structure and description of file contents:

{ "net_type": "W", // Network type: E - for Ethernet, W - for Wireless "net_mode": "S", // Network mode: D - for DHCP, S - for Static IP "ip": "0.0.0.0", // IP-address with CIDR support (for static IP) "mask": "255.255.255.255", // netmask (optional) "gw": "0.0.0.0", // gateway (for Static IP) "dns": "0.0.0.0, 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2", // comma-separated list of DNS servers (optional) "ssid": "wifinetwork", // WIFI [B]SSID (optional) "psk": "12sd78SR##21!", // WIFI key (optional) "driver": "wext" // WIFI driver (nl80211 or wext). Default wext (optional) }

network.txt example for wireless network with DHCP server:

{"net_type":"W","net_mode":"D","ssid":"SSID","psk":"PSK_KEY"}

network.txt example for ethernet network without DHCP server:

{"net_type": "E","net_mode": "S","ip": "0.0.0.0","mask": "255.255.255.255", "gw": "0.0.0.0","dns": "0.0.0.0, 1.1.1.1"}

Prepare your ASIC device
  • Connect your ASIC to network.
  • Make sure you have SSH access to your ASIC*.

*For Antminer S17/T17 you need to unlock SSH first.

Unlocking SSH

(for Antminer s17 only, skip this step if you have SSH access to your ASIC)

Make sure you have access to ASIC via local area network.
  • Download Raveos Mass Migration Tool BETA extract and install it.
  • Run “ASIC SSH Unlocker.lnk”. Use ssh-unlock-win-x64.exe -h to get the full list of commands.
  • Use -ip key to set network range to scan and -unlock to unlock SSH access to all devices that will be found during scan.
    Example: ssh-unlock-win-x64.exe -ip 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 -unlock
  • Use -ip to set network range to scan and -check to check SSH access to all devices that will be found during scan.
    Example: ssh-unlock-win-x64.exe -ip 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255 -check
