Q: How is the DOK handled in the t5515? A: The t5515 supports the physical storage device known as a Disk On Key (DOK). Like all storage devices, the DOK must be attached to the existing directory on the t5515 before it can be accessed. Mounting The process of attaching a device is known as mounting and the directory that the device is attached to is the mounting point. To create a mounting point, perform the following steps: 1. Open the console by GO>Console and enter the make directory command (mkdir /mnt/ dok). 2. Install the DOK device driver (insmod usb-storage). 3. Mount the DOK to the sda1 device (mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/dok). NOTE: To view the files on the DOK use the ls command. File Copying To copy files to/from the DOK use the cp command. Examples: • cp /mnt/dok/printcap.txt /etc/printcap • cp printcap /mnt/dok/printcap.1 10
