Pool setup
Prepare primary and backup pool URLs, worker names, and passwords before applying changes.
Batch actions
Limit changes to selected miners, racks, or test groups instead of the whole farm.
Troubleshooting
Use scan and status results to narrow down network, credential, pool, or firmware issues.
Checklist
Antminer setup checklist
Use these checks before acting on the antminer management tools and btc tools workflows workflow.
- Confirm miners are on the same management LAN or reachable subnet.
- Prepare pool URLs and worker naming rules.
- Group miners by rack, switch, or maintenance batch.
- Confirm admin access before applying batch configuration.
- Document current pool and IP settings for operational records.
Operations
Antminer workflow stages
Use this table to compare the operating checks covered by antminer workflow stages.
| Area | What to check | BTC Tools workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | Scan the subnet and find reachable devices. | Use the device list as the starting point. |
| Group | Select a small rack, room, or subnet. | Avoid accidental changes outside the intended group. |
| Configure | Apply pool and worker values. | Keep naming consistent with the farm layout. |
| Review | Check whether miners reconnect and submit work. | Escalate hardware or firmware issues separately. |
Setup
Apply the antminer setup checklist
Start with the intended IP range and device group, apply one controlled change, and review the result before expanding the antminer management tools and btc tools workflows workflow.
