WhatsMiner Tool setup guide
Set up WhatsMiner Tool in a predictable order so miner discovery, password updates, API enablement and pool changes are easier to validate.
This is an independent operator guide. Verify current downloads, firmware notes and warranty-sensitive actions on official WhatsMiner support pages before changing production miners.
First run
Recommended setup order
Extract and launch
Use a dedicated folder on a trusted Windows PC connected to the miner LAN.
Add IP range
Open Miner IP management, add start and end addresses for the subnet and save the range.
Start scan
Run discovery and confirm that detected models, IPs and status match the physical fleet.
Update credentials
Change default admin passwords before enabling API operations or third-party control.
Apply settings in batches
Use small groups for pools, reboot, firmware or power actions before scaling changes.
Common setup checks
What to verify before batch changes
Firewall
Allow the tool through Windows Firewall if discovery packets are blocked.
