How to Choose the Right IP Range for Scanning in BTC Tools

When setting up BTC Tools, it is important to correctly specify the IP address range so that BTC Tools can detect all available ASIC miners in your network. Errors in the range may lead to some miners not being detected.

How to Find Your IP Range?

Before scanning the network, you need to determine which IP addresses are used in your local network.

Determining Local IP on Windows:

  • Open Command Prompt (Win + R → type cmd → press Enter).
  • Enter the command: ipconfig and press Enter.
  • Find the IPv4 Address line (e.g., 192.168.1.100).

Determining Local IP on Linux:

  • Open Terminal.
  • Enter the command: ifconfig (Linux) and press Enter.
  • Find the IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.0.150).

How to Set an IP Address Range in BTC Tools?

Opening BTC Tools: Launch the program and go to the IP Ranges section.

Adding a New IP Range:

  • Click the + button to create a new range.
  • Determine your subnet based on your IP address:
    • If your IP is 192.168.1.100, then your range is
      192.168.1.1~192.168.1.255.
    • If your IP is 192.168.0.150, then your range is
      192.168.0.1~192.168.0.255.
  • Enter this range in the IP Ranges field and click OK.

Starting the Scan: Click the Scan button to allow BTC Tools to search for ASIC miners within the specified range.

How to Optimize BTC Tools for Maximum Efficiency

Optimal Monitoring Settings

To ensure BTC Tools effectively tracks the status of ASIC miners, follow these configuration steps:

  1. Launch BTC Tools and navigate to the Settings section.
  2. Set the monitoring interval (Monitor Interval) to 5-10 seconds. This balances data update frequency with network load.
  3. Enable automatic data updates – BTC Tools will monitor changes in real time.
  4. Activate Highlight Abnormal Temperature Miners to quickly identify overheating devices.

Reducing Temperature and Extending Equipment Lifespan

Overheating is one of the main causes of ASIC miner failures. BTC Tools allows you to configure optimal cooling parameters:

  1. Go to the Overclock/Underclock section.
  2. Choose an Overclock or Underclock profile based on your ASIC model.
  3. Set a maximum temperature limit (e.g., 75°C).
  4. Enable automatic frequency reduction when overheating (if supported by your model).
  5. Activate Power Control mode (if available) to reduce power consumption.

Configuring Pool Auto-Update

To prevent downtime and automate switching to active pool servers:

  1. Open the pool configuration section.
  2. Enter multiple backup pools – if the primary pool fails, the ASIC miner will automatically switch to another.
  3. Set the connection password (PWD) and select the Worker Suffix – use IP or No Change to avoid conflicts.
  4. Click Config Selected to save the changes.
