A correct pool configuration is the first step after installation. Prepare the official stratum address, worker name and any required password before opening the miner interface.
1
Before you start
- Create an account and worker on your chosen pool.
- Copy the current stratum URL and port from the pool’s official website.
- Prepare at least one backup pool.
- Make sure your computer can reach the miner on the local network.

1. Open the miner interface
Enter the miner IP address in a browser and sign in. The default password may be admin if it has not been changed; use the credentials configured for your device.

2. Enter pool details
Open Mining and then the pool configuration area. Enter each value exactly as supplied by the pool.
- URL: the complete stratum address and port.
- Worker: the pool account and worker name in the pool’s required format.
- Password: the worker password, often x when the pool does not require one.
- Backup pools: add secondary addresses in priority order.

3. Save, apply and verify
- 1
Select Save to store the settings.
- 2
Select Apply to activate them; allow the miner to restart if requested.
- 3
Open the status page and wait for the pool connection to become active.
- 4
Confirm that hashrate appears and accepted shares begin increasing.
Important: A configured pool is not necessarily a working pool. Verify accepted shares and the worker status on the pool dashboard before leaving the miner unattended.

If the pool does not connect
- Re-copy the address and port from the official pool page.
- Check the required worker-name format.
- Verify DNS, gateway and internet access on the miner network.
- Try the backup pool to separate a pool issue from a miner issue.
