File system structure

The structure of the file system is very simple: It consists of a single root directory
called

root

and a subdirectory called

dl

.

The

root

directory contains:

all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly

the dl directory

The

dl

(download) directory contains the software image.

In Windows XP for instance:

1

On the Windows task bar, click Start.

2

Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

The default user is ‘Administrator’ and the default password is blank.

If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the

dl

subdirectory.
