Lindy P16-IP user manual Create a CD-ROM/ISO Image, Dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cdrom.image

Section 4 IP Access Configuration & Operation

Create a CD-ROM/ISO Image

Follow the procedure below to create a CD-ROM image which can be accessed by the host system via the P16-IP. The image file must be an ISO file format!

First, on your client PC you must create an image of your CD which can be accessed by the host system.

UNIX and UNIX-like OS

To create an image file, make use of dd. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).

To create a CD-ROM image file, copy the contents of the CD-ROM to a file. You can use the following command:

dd[ if=/dev/cdrom ] [ of=/tmp/cdrom.image ]

dd reads the entire disc from the device /dev/cdrom, and saves the output in the specified output file /tmp/cdrom.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.).
