Safety Information and Warnings

Your device may get hot to the touch; this is normal. Unplug the device and let it cool before removing it. This device complies with applicable surface- temperature standards and limits defined by the International Standard for Safety (IEC 60950-1). Still, sustained contact with warm surfaces for long periods of time may cause discomfort or injury. Keep the device in a well- ventilated area when in use. Allow for adequate air circulation under and around the device. Do not expose the device to water or extreme conditions (moisture, heat, cold, dust), as the device may malfunction or cease to work when exposed to such elements. Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the device yourself. Doing so voids the limited warranty and could harm you or the device. This device is not designed, manufactured or intended for use in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance in which the failure of the device could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage.

Compliance

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning ( Part 15.21) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. RF Exposure ( OET Bulletin 65 ) To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements for mobile transmitting devices, this transmitter should only be used or installed at locations where there is at least 20cm separation distance between the antenna and all persons. Information to the User – Part 15.105 (b) Note: This equipment has been tested and found to co fly with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

  • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
  • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
  • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
  • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Setup Instructions

Connect each of the eight (8) RP-SMA antennas to the WiFi Pineapple, making sure not to overtighten. Next, connect the power cable to the WiFi Pineapple and plug the cable into an outlet.

Software Installation via WiFi

Using a computer or smartphone, connect to the WiFi Pineapple’s open wireless network, named “Pineapple_XXXX” (where XXXX are the last 4 characters of the device’s MAC address). Once connected to the wireless network, open a web browser to http://172.16.42.1:1471 and follow the on-screen instructions. The setup wizard will prompt you to connect the WiFi Pineapple to a wireless network, from which it will download and install the latest version of the WiFi Pineapple software. This process typically takes about 10 minutes—during which time it is important to keep the device plugged in and powered on.

Software Installation via Ethernet

If your network provides Internet access by DHCP, the WiFi Pineapple may automatically obtain an IP address and Internet access from your network by attaching it to the WiFi Pineapple’s WAN port with an Ethernet cable (not included). With the WiFi Pineapple connected to the Internet via your network, connect your computer to the WiFi Pineapple’s network. This may be done either by using an Ethernet cable connected between your computer and the WiFi Pineapple’s RJ45 LAN Ethernet port, or by using a USB cable connected between your computer and the WiFi Pineapple’s USB-C LAN Ethernet port. If using the USB-C port, your computer may require driver installation for the ASIX AX88772C USB Ethernet adapter (see https://docs.hak5.org for download). With your computer connected to the WiFi Pineapple LAN, open a web browser to http://172.16.42.1:1471 and follow the on-screen instructions.
Software Installation via USB Flash Disk (unattended/headless setup) The WiFi Pineapple may be provisioned “headless”—meaning without interactive attention. This method allows you to install firmware with the settings of your choice, including Cloud C2 provisioning, without connecting it to a computer or smartphone—useful for mass deployments. See the full setup guide for USB Flash Disk provisioning from https://docs.hak5.org
