Get to know your WLAN Pi Pro

How to talk to your Pi

There are numerous ways to interact with your WLAN Pi:

We'll go through each of these.

Powering On

Momentary press (1 sec) to power on

look for constant red light, this indicates power

look for the heartbeat LED, this means the OS has been initiated

Then the screen will come to life

The very first boot with a newly flashed SD card can take up to 60 seconds, be patient

Powering Off

The recommended way to do this is to issue the poweroff command!

This can be done:

  • via the screen and buttons on the front (FPMS)

  • CLI command

  • Cockpit GUI

Or... Long press the power button (2 seconds)

This will force the device to power off without gracefully shutting down, which could result in data corruption

Charging Battery

  • Ports that will charge the battery are indicated with a lightning bolt, there are 2 of them

    • PoE

      • 802.3af compliant

      • Max 12W (1.5A)

    • Type-C Port (Top)

      • 5V input, Max 1.5A

Do not use with Qualcomm QuickCharge (QC) power sources, these chargers have the ability to output greater than 5V which could damage components in certain scenarios.

For example, if the battery is completely flat when connected to a QC charger.
