Device Initialization (Linux Environment)
Once the D300 is connected to your computer and recognized by the operating system, the device will need to
be initialized prior to first use. To do so, open the ‘Terminal’ application (or command-line window) and follow
these steps:
(
Note: The screenshots and instructions in this section utilize the linux64 folder (signifying 64-bit) for purposes
of demonstrating use of the D300 device in the Linux OS. Keep in mind if you are using the 32-bit version of
Linux, simply navigate to and use the respective 32-bit folder in place of the 64-bit folder, i.e.
linux32 rather
than linux64 .)
1. Change directory to the D300 volume by
typing the following command at the
terminal prompt (as seen in
Figure 10.2
.):
cd /media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux64
( Note: Commands and folder (directory)
names are case-sensitive, i.e. ‘linux64’ is
NOT the same as ‘Linux64.’ Syntax must
also be typed exactly as shown.
Some Linux
distributions may require you to input username
to run commands i.e. "trglabguy" in this
example.

2. Type
ls (as in l ist) at the current prompt and press ENTER . This will provide you with a list of files and/or
folders in the /media/trglabguy/IRONKEY/linux/linux64 (or linux64 ) folder. You will see the five ikd300
commands listed, ikd300_about , ikd300_forgotpassword , ikd300_initialize , ikd300_login , and
ikd300_logout as seen in Figure 10.3 .
