To join the pool, the ASIC owner needs to create a settings configuration by specifying the IP of the miner. If it is unknown, it can be easily found out. To do this, you need to download IP Reporter Antminer. In the article we will tell you how to work with the program.
What IP Reporter Antminer is needed for
This is the official software of the Bitmain company. The only function of IP Reporter is to scan IP ports for ASIC miners. Other services can handle network address determination:

Possible problems
Despite the simplicity of the functionality, users may encounter common difficulties when working with Antminer IP Reporter. For example, the program will not work after unpacking the archive. Also, the utility may start, but the network IP address cannot be found.
The program does not work
Most often the cause can be an active antivirus. In this case, after unzipping, the file is quarantined. To solve this, you need to manually add the utility to the exceptions and restore to the original location.
The program cannot determine the IP
If the search using the IP Reporter utility fails, a window appears with the text “Timeout. Please restart”. The reason may be incorrect settings of the miner. To fix it, you need to roll back the device to the factory firmware (Hard reset).
To do this, hold down the Reset button on the ASIC panel until the equipment starts rebooting. Then you need to repeat the IP search procedure starting from point 1.

There is no need to rush through the Hard reset procedure. The reason may be that the ASIC is not connected to the Internet. You should check the power supply and tightness of the LAN cable connection to the miner’s Ethernet port.
