How to setup solo mining Antminer S9j using cgminer from Mac OS

Bitcoin Stack Exchange

I have a Mac Mini M1 which has installed cgminer 4.11.1 from github repo and runs Gekko miners quite well via USB connection using my local bitcoind node. I now also have an Antminer S9j (which has an ethernet connection, no usb), but I don't know how I can connect it to the cgminer.

  1. Should I connect the Antminer to my router, find its IP, and somehow (how?) specify to cgminer this address so it can find it
  2. Should I connect the Antminer to my Mac Mini via a usb adapter and somehow cgminer would find it? (It finds the Gekko miners automatically)
  3. ??

I am also not sure whether I need to rebuild my cgminer with some relevant --enable-?? flag, ex --enable-bitmain which btw has linker errors, in order for cgminer to be able to communicate to the Antminer? Or is there a standard protocol by which cgminer is able to communicate with an ethernet capable miner, ex stratum?
