Navigating the VNISH interface

The VNISH firmware interface features a user-friendly navigation system that allows you to quickly switch between the main sections for managing the miner. The navigation panel is located on the left-hand side of the interface and provides access to device monitoring, mining settings, system parameters and service tools.
Thanks to the logical menu structure, users can quickly find the required section and access the necessary functions without complicated page transitions.

Main menu sections

The left-hand navigation panel combines several main sections of the miner control panel.

Dashboard

Dashboard section is the main screen of the interface and is used to monitor the miner’s status.
It displays key information about the device’s operation:

• ► current mining status
• ► total hash rate
• ► temperature of the ASIC chips and cooling system
• ► fan speed
• ► power consumption
• ► connection status to pools

This section is used for daily monitoring of the miner’s operation.

• Mining

  The Mining section is designed to configure the mining process and the device’s performance settings.
  In this section, you can configure:

  • ► primary and backup mining pools
  • ► device operating mode
  • ► ASIC chip frequencies and voltages
  • ► performance profiles
  • ► auto-tuning parameters

  This section controls the computational aspects of the miner’s operation and allows you to optimise its performance.

• System

  The System section contains the miner controller’s system settings and is used for administrative control of the device.
  The following settings are available in this section:

  • ► device name (hostname)
  • ► network settings
  • ► DHCP or static IP
  • ► DNS settings
  • ► system date and time
  • ► API access
  • ► Device reset
  • ► Factory reset
  • ► Export system information and logs

  This section is used for network integration of the miner and system administration.

Technical Support

The Technical Support section contains tools for diagnosing the miner and sending technical information to support specialists.
One of the main functions of this section is the creation of a diagnostic report.



Diagnostic report

The diagnostic report is an archive of files containing comprehensive technical information about the miner’s status.
The report contains:

• ► system logs of the device
• ► information on the status of hashboards and ASIC chips
• ► cooling and temperature parameters
• ► data on connected mining pools
• ► current miner settings

This report is used when contacting technical support for rapid problem diagnosis.

• Miner control API

  The VNISH firmware supports API access, which allows the miner to be integrated with external monitoring and automation systems.
  The API is used for:

  • ► automated miner control
  • ► collecting device performance statistics
  • ► integration with mining farm monitoring software
  • ► centralised management of a large number of miners

  This feature is designed for advanced integration and automation of mining equipment management processes.

Firmware Update Centre

The Update Centre section is used to install new versions of the VNISH firmware.
Firmware updates provide:

• ► new features
• ► improved stability
• ► performance optimisation
• ► bug fixes


Downloading the firmware

The firmware can be downloaded in the following formats:

• ► .tar
• ► .gz
• ► .img

You can drag the firmware file into the upload area or select it manually from your computer.

• Starting the update

  Once the file has been uploaded, the ‘Flash miner’ button becomes active, which starts the installation process for the new version.
  During the update:

  • ► the firmware is installed on the device
  • ► the miner automatically reboots
  • ► after restarting, the system begins operating with the new software version

  It is recommended to perform the update in a stable environment to avoid interrupting the installation process.

Advantages of the VNISH interface navigation

The navigation structure of the VNISH interface is designed to allow users to quickly access the main miner control functions.
The left-hand navigation panel brings together all the key sections of the system, from device monitoring to mining configuration, system administration and technical diagnostics. This ensures the interface remains intuitive for both beginners and experienced miner owners.
