SpeedTouch350i File System Structure
The files system features a tiny multilevel directory structure with a single root node called 'root' and
two leaf nodes called 'active' and 'dl'.
The 'root' contains next to the two subdirectories 'active' and 'dl' all necessary files for the
SpeedTouch350i to boot correctly.
The 'active' subdirectory always contains the software image in execution. The 'active' subdirectory
may also contain one or more .ini configuration files. These files are created seperately via the CLI
save command (per command group) or as a complete set of configuration files via the web page
'Save all' button or the CLI :config save command.
In other words, after each 'Save all', or config save call, the configuration files present in the 'active'
subdirectory reflect the current configuration of the SpeedTouch350i.
The 'dl' directory contains the dormant software image, if present.
