Re: Avalon 8 official specs released

Quick question on setting up these 821's...I've mainly used antminers which are a little "easier" to setup and run but was wanting to make sure I was right. In a dedicated hosting setup, where static ip's are used, do I need to set up a static IP for each miner AND the raspberri pi, or just the raspberri pi only? And if the answer would be the same if each avalon was connected singly via it's own auc3 connector vs daisychaining everything together off one.

Thanks

The raspberry pi has a ethernet network adapter, not the miner itself. You just set the ip on the controller.

So no matter how it's hooked up, the Avalon's are essentially "one" device combined together through the raspberri pi? When you change one pool setting, you change it on all of them that are hooked up to this raspberri pi? That makes more sense and makes it so much easier to manage.

Thanks

Correct. 1 rasp pi will control up to 20 miners and any settings changes to the controller are applied to all miners connected to it.

That's what I figured but wanted to make sure. Rather not get to the data center and find out the miners can't mine because they needed IP addresses as well. They are essentially mindless dummies that can't do anything without that raspberri pi or equivalent controller, unlike the antminers which operate independently. This makes is much easier.

Thank you all for the help. MINE ON!
