Trying again with a better subject.     


Greetings, 

So I am at our county EOC and was going to set up a digipi and connect it to the IC-7300 we have there.  I realized after setting up the WiFi network name and password and rebooting the digipi that the system here requires a new device to accept their terms to be able to use the WiFi.  

I realized this after rebooting and I could not log into the device using http://digipi or http://digipi.local

Other than reimaging the card and starting over, or try to use a different network connection, are there any other options available?   

I thought after a few minutes it would come up as a hotspot for me to log into the device, but that never happened.  I’m guessing it is on the WiFi but I can’t get to it since it hasn’t accepted the user agreement yet. 

I’m relatively new to working with a pi, pi zero 2 w is what I used, so going in another way may not be an option for me.  Could I connect an Ethernet dongle and get into it?

Thoughts?

Hi Ron, My daughter lives in a big apartment building, and she had the same
problem with her printer, it can't accept the terms of the Wifi agreement either.

The apartment management had a website where you could enter the
mac address of the printer, and it would somehow be available to other devices
on the mac list.  I don't know if this applies to you, but maybe it's a start.

you can get the digipi mac address by clicking on the "Shell" link, login "pi"
password "raspberry", the run "ifconfig"

pi@digipi4:~ $ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500

and yes, an Ethernet cable might be an easier option.

cool,
