File system The SpeedTouch™ file system is stored on nonvolatile memory, and contains the
FTP session To open an FTP session:
You can access the file system of the SpeedTouch™ via the File Transfer Protocol
(FTP), in order to:
Restore or backup configuration files, templates or language packs.
Upgrade your configuration or firmware.
SpeedTouch™ software, service template files and (optionally) default setting files.
1 Open a Command Prompt window.
In Windows XP for instance:
1 On the Windows task bar, click Start.
2 Select (All) Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

4 The example below shows an FTP session to the SpeedTouch™ file system:
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.
If you made changes to the SpeedTouch™ configuration and saved
them, a user.ini configuration settings file is created in the dl
subdirectory.

Local Network Setup
2.1 Wired Ethernet
Local network The Ethernet ports on the backpanel allow you to connect the SpeedTouch™ to an
existing 10 or 100 Base-T Ethernet network or one (or more) computer(s) with
installed Ethernet card.
Using the SpeedTouch™ Ethernet switch, you can create a local Ethernet network of
up to four devices, without needing extra networking devices.
In the SpeedTouch™ package, a yellow full-wired straight-through RJ-45/RJ45 Ethernet cable is included.
Standard wiring
procedure
Use the yellow Ethernet cable provided to wire your computer's Ethernet port to one
of the SpeedTouch™'s Ethernet ports.
The Ethernet cable can also be used to wire any Ethernet port of your SpeedTouch™
to an external hub or switch.
Please follow the installation instructions supplied with the external hub or
switch for connections and Ethernet cabling.
Device settings Once you’ve connected a device, you are able to personalise its settings.
For more information, see “ Device settings” on page 19.
Managed Ethernet
switch
Your SpeedTouch™ intelligently switches data between the devices on your LAN,
using priority queuing to ensure that higher priority messages are delivered first and
in real-time. This feature maximizes your network performance.
You can configure the managed Ethernet switch manually using CLI (For more
information, see the SpeedTouch™ CLI Reference Guide).
