Step-by-Step Instructions for Setting Up the Fluminer L2
Let’s go through how to set up your Fluminer L2 from start to finish.
1. Preparing the ASIC
- Choose a Location: Place your Fluminer L2 in a cool, well-ventilated area. Remember – it gives off some heat while mining, so don’t keep it in a completely enclosed space.
- Power Connection: Plug in the included power cable to the back of the Fluminer L2. You’ll find the power button nearby.
- Network Options: The L2 supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet.
~ Ethernet: Gives lower latency and is great for stable connections.
~ Wi-Fi: More convenient if you want to place it anywhere around the house.
2. Configuring the ASIC
- Power On: Once plugged in, flip the power switch at the back. The device will light up and start broadcasting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.
- Connect via Wi-Fi: On your smartphone or laptop, open your Wi-Fi settings.
You’ll see a network name similar to: WIFI_95858, (Yours may vary)Connect to it. It might say “No Internet,” and that’s completely fine.
- Find the Device’s IP Address: Open your web browser and type in this address: 192.168.4.10
3. Accessing the Fluminer L2 via the Web Browser
Once you type the IP address into your browser, you’ll be asked to log in.
- Username: root
- Password: root
This will take you to the Fluminer L2 dashboard.
From here, you’ll be able to adjust your pool settings, Wi-Fi, and more.
4. Adding the Mining Pool
Now it’s time to connect the L2 to your preferred mining pool.
1. On the dashboard, click “Pool Settings.”
2. In this section, you’ll enter your mining pool details. For example:
~ Pool URL: (e.g., stratum+tcp://ltc.viabtc.com:3333)
~ Worker Name: Enter your pool username followed by a dot and your miner name (e.g., YourName.L2).
~ Password: Usually “x” or blank, depending on the pool.
3. You can also add backup pools (Pool 2 and Pool 3) in case your main pool goes offline.
4. Click Submit.
It will say “Configuration Successful” and ask if you want to restart. You don’t have to restart yet.
Connecting the Fluminer L2 to Your Home Wi-Fi
Next, you’ll want the L2 to join your regular Wi-Fi network so it can mine online.
1. Go to the Wi-Fi Settings tab in the dashboard (look for the three-line menu icon).
2. Enter your Wi-Fi SSID (your home network name) and password.
3. Click Submit, then confirm “Restart.”
4. The device will reboot and connect to your home Wi-Fi.
After restarting, your phone or computer will automatically switch back to your normal home Wi-Fi.
5. Start Mining
Once your Fluminer L2 reconnects, it’ll start communicating with your mining pool.
After about 10 minutes, you should start seeing hash rate activity in your pool dashboard (like ViaBTC or any other Scrypt pool you chose).
Typical stats for the Fluminer L2:
- Hashrate: ~1.0 to 1.2 GH/s
- Power Draw: ~330 – 340W at the wall (slightly higher than advertised)
And that’s it – your Fluminer L2 is officially mining!
6. Setting Up the Music Player
Yes, you read that right – the L2 can play music while mining!
1. Turn on Bluetooth on your phone.
2. Look for a device name like FL88 and connect to it.
3. Once connected, open your favorite music app and hit play.
The L2 features a Sansui speaker, known for good quality sound. You can control volume, bass, and treble right from your phone.
The best part? Playing music barely adds any power usage – only about 1-2 extra watts!
