Recommendations

To ensure there is ample power provided to the DT6000 device, insert it directly into a USB

port on your notebook or desktop. Avoid connecting the DT6000 to any peripheral device(s)

that may feature a USB port, such as a keyboard or USB-powered hub.

*Note: See Drive Letter Conflict’ on page 20.

Setup (Windows environment)

1. Insert the DT6000 into an available USB port on

your notebook or desktop and wait for Windows

to detect it.

•Windows XP users will receive a Found

New Hardware’ notification as seen in Figure

2.1.

•Windows Vista/7 users will receive a device

driver notification as seen in Figure 2.2.

Once the new hardware detection is complete,

Windows will prompt you to begin the initialisation

process.

•Windows XP users will see an AutoPlay

window similar to the one in Figure 2.3.

•Windows Vista/7 users will see a different

AutoPlay window.

2. Select the option Run

DT6000_Launcher.exe’.

If Windows does not AutoPlay, you can browse to

the removable disk drive (Figure 2.4) and manually

execute the DT6000_Launcher program. This will

also start the initialisation process.

2. Passwords must contain three (3) of the following:

- UPPER CASE, lower case, numeric and/or special characters (!, $, etc.)

useful in providing a clue as to what the password is, should the password ever be

forgotten. (Note: The hint CANNOT be an exact match to the password.)

Once the DT6000 has been initialised, you can

access the secure data partition and use the

device options by logging in to the device with

your password. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Insert the DT6000 into a USB port on your

notebook or desktop and enter your

password (see Figure 4.1).

2. Once you’ve typed your password, click the

•If the correct password is entered, the

DT6000 will unlock and you can begin

using the device.

•If an incorrect password is entered, an

error message will appear just below

the Hint’ field, indicating a login

failure (see Figure 4.2).

Figure 4.1 – Login window

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

DT6000 will lock and require a device

format of the secure data partition prior to

its next use.

THIS MEANS THAT ALL DATA STORED

ON THE DT6000 WILL BE LOST.

For more details on this feature, see

Device Lockout’ on page 18.

*Note: Once you authenticate to the device successfully, the failed login counter will reset.
