Review of programs. Remote farm monitoring

When you have several mining farms, two or three on the balcony, or an entire hangar, there is a need for remote connection. The reasons may be different:

1. There are not enough monitors and keyboards with mice.
2. You live elsewhere and cannot be near the farm.

How to remotely connect to a mining farm?

The program will come to your aid teamwiever, you can download it from the off-site www.teamviewer.com

What are the advantages of team viewer:

• Quick installation
• Intuitive interface
• Can connect to multiple computers simultaneously
• It is possible to install on mobile devices.

Let's start with the download section on the off site. You can download the installation file for different operating systems: Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, iOS, Windows App and BlackBerry.

Yes as main full program TeamViewer, as well as its additional derivatives, for example, TeamViewer QuickSupport was created for quick technical support (say, an office plankton cannot figure out why his 1C enterprise freezes or soap is not sent) and makes only a one-way connection. The TeamViewer Host program aroused my greatest interest; according to the developers, it is used for round-the-clock access to remote computers, making it ideal for remote monitoring, server maintenance and home-office access. But purchasing a license is required. I have tested the standard version, it is very convenient to use it to connect to farms, download new versions of miners, overclock video cards and simply monitor the temperature.

Setting up uncontrolled access.

After installation on your computer, team viewer generates your personal ID and one-time password, which will change with each connection to a new one.

In this case, we will not be able to remotely connect to our farms, because no one will tell us the password. For such situations, the program has an uncontrolled access setting. What does it mean? You simply assign your password with which you will connect.

Also, do not forget to check the box “Start TeamViewer when loading the operating system.”

You can also change the computer name.

You don't have to create an account.

Let's try to connect using our password...

The desktop appears in the program interface, where we can observe the running miner.

Files.

To upload files to the mining farm via teamviewer, you will have to connect in the “file transfer” mode, where you will see file manager ala Total Commander. Or, in the “Remote Control” mode, you can upload a file to the farm by simply dragging the file into the program window. This method only works in one direction.

The miner supports remote control/monitoring using the JSON protocol over TCP/IP sockets, HTTP is also supported.

Run “EthMan.exe” from the “Remote management” subdirectory (Windows versions only).

Miner settings:

Port for remote control/monitoring. Default value is -3333 (read only),

Specify "-mport 0" to disable the remote monitoring feature.

Specify a negative value to enable monitoring (retrieve statistics) but disable management (reboot, download files), for example, "-mport -3333" enables port 3333 for remote monitoring, but will block remote management.

You can also use your web browser to view current state miner, for example, enter "localhost:3333" in the browser.

Warning: Use a negative value or disable remote control completely if you think you might be attacked on this port!

By default, the miner will accept connections on the specified port on all network adapters, but you can directly select the desired network interface, for example, "-mport 127.0.0.1:3333" will open the port only on localhost.

Remote monitoring (control) password. By default it is empty, so anyone can query statistics or control the miner remotely if the -mport option is set. You can set a password for remote access (at least EthMan v3.0 is required to support passwords).

EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

If you use this miner, you can use the remote monitoring built into the miner. First of all, you need to find out the IP address of the farm. To do this we launch Command line and enter “ipconfig”, we need an IPv4 address.

We add our port to the firewall as an exception; if this is not done, then when you first start the miner you will be asked to add it to the exceptions.

After these steps, just enter 192.168.0.1:45000 (your IP and port) in your browser and you will be able to monitor the farm’s operation without using other programs. The computer and the farm must be on the same local network.

To access statistics from the Internet, just forward the port through the router. This only applies if you have a static IP. To do this, go to the admin panel of the router, at the address: 192.168.0.1

• Service Port: – Here we indicate our port 45000, which we added to the configuration file.;
• Internal Port: – Here we indicate the external port to which we will connect, for example 40500;
• IP Address: – Here we indicate the farm IP that we added to the configuration file.;

Done, all we need to do is find out the external IP of our router, for this we can go to any site that shows the IP, https://who.is. And we use this IP and external port to connect to statistics.

For example, it might look like this: 92.253.203.16:40500

We go to the service, get an access key, and enter the worker’s name in the control panel.

• TIER 0 — $10; (+3 month);
• TIER 1 — $20; (+3 month);
• TIER 2 - $45; (+3 month);
