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.
