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.
