Device initialisation (Linux environment)
Once the DT4000 is connected to your computer and has been recognised by the operating
system, the device will need to be initialised 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 use the
linux32
folder (signifying 32-bit)
for purposes of demonstrating use of the DT4000 device in the Linux OS. If you are using the
64-bit version of Linux, simply navigate to and use the respective 64-bit folder in place of the
32-bit folder, i.e.
linux64
rather than
linux32
.)
1. Change directory to the DT4000
volume by typing the following
command at the terminal prompt
(as seen in
Figure 10.2
):
cd /media/DT4000/linux/linux32
(
Note: Commands and folder
(directory) names are case-
sensitive, i.e. ‘linux32’ is NOT the
same as ‘Linux32’. Syntax must
also be typed exactly as shown.)

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/DT4000/linux/linux32
(or
linux64
) folder. You will see
the five DT4000 commands listed,
dt4000_about
,
dt4000_forgotpassword
,
dt4000_initialize
,
dt4000_login
and
dt4000_logout
, as seen in
Figure 10.3
.
