# Mass change miners' pools

{% hint style="success" %}

#### Requirements for remote actions

* A **Core**, **Scale**, or **Enterprise** plan is required.
* Access is managed via **Roles → Farm Permissions**; only authorized users can perform remote actions. All activities are logged (see **Logs tab** or **"View logs"** in the miner's menu).
* For **WhatsMiner** devices, the **API must be enabled**. [How to enable it →](/other/how-to-enable-whatsminer-api.md)
  {% endhint %}

To mass change miners' pools via the mass action panel:

1. Go to **Dashboard**.
2. Select miners by checking relevant boxes..
3. Click **Change pools** on the mass action panel.
4. Enter **URL** - server address where the miner will connect for operation.
5. Enter **Worker name** - the unique identifier assigned to the miner within the mining pool.
6. Choose **Divider** - dot or underscore used to separate different components of the worker name.
7. Choose **Variables** - predefined placeholders for dynamic worker name configuration.
   * **Unique**: A unique identifier for the miner.​
   * **MAC**: The miner's MAC address.​
   * **Increment**: An incremental number assigned to each miner.​
   * **IP**: The miner's IP address.​
   * **IP (octet 1st)**: The first octet of the IP address.​
   * **IP (octet 2nd)**: The second octet of the IP address.​
   * **IP (octet 3rd)**: The third octet of the IP address.​
   * **IP (octet 4th)**: The fourth octet of the IP address.​
   * **IP (octet 3rdx4th)**: Combination of the third and fourth octets.
8. Enter **Worker password** - password for worker authentication with the mining pool.
9. Click **Apply**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Configuration Inputs:**

* **Worker Name**: `miner_{IP(3rdx4th)}`
* **Divider**: `_` (underscore)
* **Miner IP Address**: `192.168.1.25`

**Generated Worker Name:** `miner_1x25`

**Explanation:**

* `{IP(3rdx4th)}` takes the **3rd and 4th octet** of the IP (`1` and `25`) and combines them as `1x25`.
* The underscore `_` is used as the divider.
  {% endhint %}

To single change miners' pools:

To change pools for a single miner, click on the **three dots** next to it, and select **"Change pools"** from the dropdown menu. This option allows for individual reboot  without going through the bulk process.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In a **single action**, the variable is set to **None**, meaning you can manually enter any value in the **Worker Name** field. The system will save exactly what you enter **without applying any automatic changes or placeholders**.

#### **Key Difference:**

* **With None**: The system does not modify or generate any part of the worker name; it simply saves the value you manually input.
* **With other variables**: The system dynamically generates the worker name based on predefined placeholders (e.g., `{MAC}`, `{IP(3rdx4th)}`).

This allows for **full customization** when assigning worker names without automatic formatting.

The system saves the **exact** worker name you enter, without modifications.

<summary><strong>Why didn’t my pools change?</strong></summary>

If your mining pools didn’t update, check the following:

1. **Incorrect Pool URL** – Ensure the entered **URL** is valid and reachable.
2. **Worker Name Format Issue** – Verify the **Worker Name** and selected **variables** are correct.
3. **Pool Requires Authentication** – Pools need a **password**; confirm it's entered correctly.
4. **Miner Connection Issues** – Check if miners are **online** and connected to the network.
5. **Firmware Restrictions** – Some firmware may prevent pool changes; try updating or restarting the miner.
6. **Delayed Sync** – Changes may take time; refresh the **Dashboard** or reboot the miner.
