Scanning and Adding Devices

Overview

The Scanner feature in Braiins Manager simplifies adding workers to your system by scanning your network for mining devices. Follow this guide to configure and use the Scanner.

How to Set Up a Scan

  1. Go to the Scanner Component: In the Braiins Manager interface, navigate to Scanner.
  2. Add a New Scan: Click Add New Scan to set up a new scan.
  3. Configure the Scan:
    • Scan Name: Provide a descriptive name for the scan.
    • Location: Select the location you want to scan.
    • IP Range: Define the IP range where the miners are located (supports Nmap notation).
    • Custom Password: Set a custom password if your miners are protected.
    • Assigned Customer: Select a customer to whom the detected miners should be assigned (useful for hosting providers).
    • Comment: Add internal comments about the scan.
  4. Advanced Options:
    • Automatic Resync: Optionally, set a time interval for automatic resync.
    • Add Workers: Automatically add a device to the worker list if its MAC address is not found in Braiins Manager.
    • Update IP: Automatically update IP addresses for existing MAC addresses if they change.
    • Set to Maintenance: Set a worker to maintenance mode if it remains offline at a listed IP for more than 10 days.
  5. Miner Manufacturers/Firmware: Choose miner models and firmware to scan. Supported models include Braiins OS, Whatsminer Stock FW, Antminer Stock FW, Avalon, Minerva, and Iceriver.
  6. Save the Scan:
  • After configuring the settings, click Save to start the scan.
  • A spinning icon will appear, indicating the scan is running. Wait for the scan to finish (time varies depending on the IP range).

Viewing and Adding Workers

If the scanner is not configured to automatically add workers, you can manually add them after the scan is complete. The scanned devices will be displayed in a list, and for any miners that Braiins Manager couldn't identify correctly, you can select the appropriate variant from a dropdown menu. This ensures accurate identification and management of the devices within Braiins Manager.

Scan Management

  • View previous scans by clicking Scanner History.
  • Edit or delete defined scans.
  • Manually trigger a resync of a scan.
