are you absolutely certain it's the correct I.P.?  labled with
kNC or Texas Instruments
it can be difficult to time it just right, I had similar woes...
gotta scan at just the right time to catch it for me it was...
The moment you get the ip....
then turn dhcp off on the gui asap, and assign i.p.'s before cgminer closes the connection.
good luck.

P.S.   during the green light flashing on ethernet. If it stops, start over.

if you can putty in... You will most likely find the workername  in CGminer is wrong.
you can change it there instead, just be sure to save to /config/cgminer.conf     and not the root address.
that will fix it.

I had to "Crack" into every Saturn this way because of the workername field contained too many character spaces in comparison to what was on my pool.

arp-a on my Ubuntu laptop shows me "Saturn-5F9" and the IP.

"NMAP -sP 192.160.0.0/24" will list all devices on the network that respond.

Maybe try that and hit up each device on your network one a time?
I had about 25 devices here at the house with all the laptops, cell phones, gaming systems etc. lol. But I found the device pretty quickly.

It will ask for the login and password (admin/admin) when you find it.

i dont follow this but it sounds promising.

Hi guys,

so I played a little with firmware settings, voltage (0.7 / 0.9) and after a few restarts I now have my Mercury running stable at 130 GH/s and only have ~15 cores disabled instead of 40 cores with firmware 0.90 and enablecore.bin.

I made a few photos from the ASIC board and found out that the VRM with an output voltage from 0.9V they reach temperatures over 89°C.

Here is an album I made:

Thank you for sharing that.

not really, the saturn has now more WU/s (4370)  and less HW errors (about 7%) with 0.94
and before  with 0.95 and 0.96 it had 15-20% HW Errors  and 3600-3700 WU/s

things change..  when you go back to .94 do you get the same result or even more HW errors now?

the moment you are able to access the gui page, go to the inetworking tab/page uncheck dhcp, and assign the ip to your miner


but... it may be easier to use putty and get in directly thru cgminer..., you can keep the connection live if you make it in...  still change the info on the gui networking page

i am unable to access the GUI page

Die 1 might be cooked.  Let us know how you wrestle with it in the future.  I have one like that where .96 just keeps 30 cores off.  It's for the best since it will just flap on and off cores if it tries with other FW now

i am unable to access the GUI page

so use putty
You will never be able to access the GUI or thru putty if the ethernet light stops blinking before you make access.
it took me 18 hours of frustration, then a good night's sleep to figure that out

[DPoS]

with the original 0.95 firmware.

glad we could be testbeds for you!!   I'm happy with my early coins but do have one limp miner to nurse now. Glad the other one had a bit more constitution

putty fails to work - you are welcome to try via tv - you will be the 3rd, and they do say 3rd time lucky

i am unable to access the GUI page

have you tried just powering just the controller/beaglebone only..?

- power off miner and unplug power to ASIC boards
- power up PSU with controller/beaglebone only
- clear browers data/cache and and re-try web ui

this is providing you know your correct IP of the miner

does the I.P. sniff out as a "live" connection?

How are you seeing how many cores are disabled?  I thought Burtmod did not work with 0.96.

My Jupiter is consistently around 460-470GH/s no matter which firmware I have used and with the 'enable cores' file loaded in a cold room.  Is that the best its going to get?  It is kind of disappointing.  

Also, why does screen(cgminer) keep crashing back to prompt?  That is a bit annoying.

When I fuss with my cardboard and fans, I sometimes get a reboot.  Since I run, at the present, without the top, center cardboard cooling the BBB, a 12v fan sitting inside blowing on the left side of the module, another 12v fan outside the case blowing on the right side of the 1 module (Mercury), I added another piece of cardboard to the right of the BBB, to the side and up to the module, taking the air pushed out the side and directing it to the module.  The miner white light came on and off as I moved the fans, perhaps a loose pin in an added fan connector, but it started again right away.  Put Bertmod back but earlier tried the 0.2.1 and found it works well with firmware 0.90, looked at my cores, which I could with the 0.2.1, and earlier their was a single core not up, but now there are four 100% cores and the BertMod says the power change from adding that one core on firmware 0.90 with ~0.9v to the 4 vmr's, was 174 watts with one core down and 180 watts with all cores running.

Nah, that can't be right as (4dies)(48cores)(6watts)=1152 watts.

So, at 100%, 180watts/(4dies)(48cores)=.9275watt/core.

Trying the 0.95 firmware.  Not enthused.  Started off with 4 cores 100% but that soon dropped due to the .7volt output of the vrms.  Pretty quickly 23.95% of my cores became disabled.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that my power at the wall dropped from 268watts to 142watts and with BertMod showing 89watts, my power supply efficiency is about the same, 62.6%.  I might be able to tweak by raising my PCIE voltage.  I wait and see how this settles out.

dig out asic_status.pl from bertmod's package and just run something like this:

perl ./asic_status.pl > /www/pages/stat1.html

then you can just hit that page using <yourminerip>/stat1.html

[ur0pl]

okay the asic_test thing with .96 didn't work. I am going to swap one of the bad boards with the one jupiter that I am keeping. Then, i could sell the unit. then, i could return the bad board for a good one, abit, i have to pay around 200 for shipping, but whatever. this is more a hobby at this point than profit and roi, unfortunately.

Wow, not settling out at all.  Back to the failure to reach 100GH/s and it had started out with 100% cores.  I know from experience that adjusting my Vin, for an hour at 10v and later an hour at 12.5 Vin that it doesn't effectively get above 99.5GH/s while pre-0.95 firmware can allow me >130GH/s but at a cost of 162watts more at the wall extra.  So, the 34GH/s more I expect to get will cost me an additional 114% at the wall.  Well, this would be the time to spend that power, maybe not next year when network hashrate will be so high.

on another note (totally off -topic)  It's a goood morning...

don't even bother to look at Gox, especially if you are located in the US. it's almost impossible to fetch fiat from there.
To get a more balanced estimate of BTC value look at bitstamp et al.

I've had a Gox account since April...  never had a problem.
