When plugged into power, natively the P4WNP1 will act as a wireless access point and broad cast a wireless network called “P4WNP1”. You can connect to this network which will allow you to connect via SSH. YOU WILL LOSE INTERNET IF YOU PROCEED.
Connect to the wireless network “P4wnP1” the password to this network is “MaMe82-P4wnP1” note: This can be changed later.
Once connected open up PuTTY. In the line for the host name enter “[email protected]”
“pi” is the username. So when this opens up an SSH terminal, it’s saying spawn an SSH connection, use the user name “pi” and connect to IP Address 172.24.0.1.
Port should stay at 22.
Next you will see a terminal shell pop up, and if it’s your first time connecting to this host, you’ll also see a “PuTTY Security Alert. Click Accept.
You will be prompted for the password. We talked about the USERNAME above being “pi”, and now we need to enter the password “raspberry”. YOU WILL NOT SEE *** OR TEXT POPULATE. IT WILL LOOK LIKE NOTHING IS TYPED. This is normal!
Raspberry Pi’s run on versions on the Linux Operating System. To navigate around command line for your P4WNP1, we need to go over a few different linux commands. If you’re comfortable with this you can skip.
Commands:
list files and directories:
ls
to access or change directory:
cd <directory name>
example:
cd P4WNP1
to edit the contents of a file
nano <file name>
example:
nano setup.cfg
Note: when you edit a file in nano, you will see options at the bottom.
many of these show the "^" followed by a letter, example ^O. The "^" means to use
the Ctrl key. ^O = Ctrl+O
So to save our file we edited, we need to ^O then enter to save. Then ^X to Exit.
