Device Usage (Windows Environment)
Once the D300 has been initialized, you can
access the secure data partition and utilize the
device options by logging into the device with
your password. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Insert the D300 into a USB port on your
notebook or desktop and enter your
password (see
Figure 4.1
.)
•
Once you’ve typed your password,
click the ‘ Login ’ button to continue.
•
If the correct password is entered, the
D300 will unlock and you can begin
using the device.
Figure 4.1 – Login Window
•
If an incorrect password is entered, an error message will appear just below the ‘ Hint ’
field, indicating a login failure.
(
NOTE: During the login process, if a bad password is entered, you will be given another opportunity to enter
the correct password; 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 D300 will lock and
require a device format of the secure data partition prior to next use.
THIS MEANS THAT ALL DATA
STORED ON THE D300 WILL BE ERASED . For more details on this feature, see ‘Device Lockout’ on page
24 .)
2. You may unlock the secure data partition in read-only mode, sometimes referred to as “write-protect mode”,
by selecting the checkbox labeled ‘ Read-Only Mode ’ prior to logging into the device. Once authenticated
under read-only, you will be allowed to open or view content on the D300, but not update, change, or erase
content while in this mode. (
Note: Read-only mode will also prevent the format option from appearing in the
D300 menu that later appears on page 10. )
If you are currently logged in under read-only mode and wish to unlock the device
with full read/write access to
the secure data partition, you must shutdown D300 (see page 11) and log back in, leaving the ‘Read-Only
Mode’ checkbox unchecked during authentication.
* Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will be reset.
