Device Usage (Linux Environment)
Once the DT4000 G2 has been initialised, you can access the secure data partition by logging in to the
device using the DT4000 G2 password that you created on page 22. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Open a ‘Terminal’ application window.
2. Type the following command at the terminal prompt: cd /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32
3. With the command prompt now at /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32$ , type the following
command to log in to the device: ./dt4000g2_login* and press ENTER. ( Note: Commands and
folder names are case-sensitive and syntax must be exact. )
4. Enter your DT4000 G2 password and press ENTER . After a successful login, the secure data
volume will open on your desktop and you can proceed to use the DT4000 G2.
If you enter a bad password during the login process, you will be given another opportunity to enter the
correct password by repeating step 3. However, there is a built-in security feature that tracks the
number of failed login attempts. If this number reaches the pre-configured value of 10 failed attempts,
the DT4000 G2 will lock and require you to initialise the device by executing the
dt4000g2_forgotpassword command prior to next use. This process will allow you to create a new
password, but in order to protect the privacy of your data, the DT4000 G2 will format the secure data
partition.
This means that all of your data will be lost .
Once the
dt4000g2_forgotpassword process is complete and you have successfully set up a new
password, the built-in security counter that tracks failed login attempts will be reset ( Note: A successful
login prior to reaching the maximum number of attempts (MaxNoA, for short) will also reset the failed-
login counter
.)
When you have finished using the DT4000 G2, log out of the device and secure your data. To do so,
follow these steps:
1. Open a ‘Terminal’ application window.
2. Type the following command at the terminal prompt: cd /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32
3. With the command prompt now at /media/DT4000G2/linux/linux32$ , type the following
command to log out of the device properly: ./dt4000g2_logout* and press ENTER. ( Note:
Commands and folder names are case-sensitive and syntax must be exact. )
4. Remove the DT4000 G2 from your system and store it in a safe place.
*Note: Certain distributions of Linux will require super-user (root) privileges in order to execute the DT4000 G2
commands properly in the terminal application window.
