File system structure
The structure of the file system is very simple: It consists of a single root directory
called
root
and two subdirectories called
active
and
dl
.
The
root
directory contains:
all the necessary files for the SpeedTouch™ to boot correctly
the active and the dl directories
The
active
directory contains the active software image.
The
dl
directory contains the passive software image.
In Windows XP for instance:
1
On the Windows task bar, click Start.
2
Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini service template file is created in the
dl
subdirectory.
