About This Manual This user manual covers the DataTraveler® 4000 (referred to simply as DT4000 from this point forward) based on the factory image with no implemented customizations. System Requirements PC Platform • • • • PC Operating System Support • • • Pentium III Processor or equivalent (or faster) 15MB free disk space USB 2.
Setup (Windows Environment) 1. Insert the DT4000 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. Figure 2.1 – Found New Hardware (Windows XP) Once the new hardware detection is complete, Windows will prompt you to begin the initialization process.
Device Initialization (Windows Environment) 1. Select your language preference from the drop-down menu and click ‘Next’ (Figure 3.1.) Figure 3.1 – Language Selection 2. Review the license agreement and click ‘Next’ (Figure 3.2.) (Note: You must accept the license agreement before continuing; otherwise the ‘Next’ button will remain disabled.) Figure 3.2 – License Agreement Document No. 48000127-001.
3. Create a password to protect your data on the DT4000. Enter it in the ‘Password’ field, then re-enter it in the ‘Password Confirmation’ field, as seen below in Figure 3.3. The password you create must meet the following criteria before the initialization process will allow you to continue: 1. Passwords must contain 8 characters or more (up to 16 characters.) 2. Passwords must contain three (3) of the following criteria options: - UPPER CASE, lower case, numeric, and/or special characters (!, $, etc.
4. Enter your contact information into the text boxes provided (see Figure 3.4) (Note: The information you enter in these fields may NOT contain the password string you created in Step 3. However, these fields are optional and can be left blank, if so desired.) • The ‘Name’ field may contain up to 32 characters, but cannot contain the exact password. • The ‘Company’ field may contain up to 32 characters, but cannot contain the exact password.
The DT4000 will now format the secure data partition (Figure 3.5) and notify you when it is complete (Figure 3.6.) Note: If operating under Windows XP in Non-Admin mode, the ‘Format’ routine can take up to a minute.* 6. Click ‘OK’ to continue. Figure 3.5 – Formatting DT4000 Figure 3.6 – Format Complete Initialization complete. *Note: Times may vary based on system hardware and the capacity of the DT4000 drive. Document No. 48000127-001.
Device Usage (Windows Environment) Once the DT4000 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 DT4000 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 DT4000 will unlock and you can begin using the device. • Figure 4.
Device Options (Windows Environment) While you are logged into the device, there will be a ‘DT4000’ icon located in the right-hand corner of the Windows taskbar (Figure 5.1.) (Note: Windows 7 users will need to click on the up-arrow button in the taskbar in order to access the ‘DT4000’ icon (Figure 5.2.) Clicking once on the DT4000 icon will display the following menu: Figure 5.2 – DT4000 icon in taskbar (Windows 7 users) Figure 5.

Double-click the Mac folder found in the window displayed in Figure 6.2. 3. Double-click the DT4000 application icon found in the window displayed in Figure 6.3. This will start the initialization process. Figure 6.

Setup (Linux Environment) (NOTE: With the various distributions of Linux available today, the ‘look and feel’ of their interfaces may vary from one version to the next. However, the general command set used in the terminal application is very similar and can be referenced in the Linux instructions that follow. The screenshot examples in this section were created in a Linux CentOS v6.x environment.
Device Initialization (Linux Environment) Once the DT4000 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 linux32 folder (signifying 32bit) for purposes of demonstrating use of the DT4000 device in the Linux OS.
3. To initialize the DT4000, type the following command at the terminal prompt and press ENTER: ./dt4000_initialize* (Remember, commands are case-sensitive.) See Figure 10.4. Figure 10.4 – Executing a DT4000 Command 4. After pressing ENTER, the license agreement will display in the terminal window. Press ‘Y’ to accept the license agreement and continue.
Device Usage (Linux Environment) Once the DT4000 has been initialized, you can access the secure data partition by logging into the device using the DT4000 password 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/DT4000/linux/linux32 3. With the command prompt now at /media/DT4000/linux/linux32$, type the following command to login to the device: ./dt4000_login* and press ENTER.
Help and Troubleshooting Device Lockout The DT4000 includes a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the data partition once a maximum number of consecutive failed login attempts (MaxNoA for short) has been made; the default “out-of-box” configuration has a pre-configured value of 10 (no. of attempts.) The ‘lock-out’ counter tracks each failed login and gets reset one of two ways: 1) A successful login prior to reaching MaxNoA or 2) reaching MaxNoA and performing a device format.
Forgot Password If you forget your password, you can click on the ‘Forgot Password’ link that appears in the login window when DT4000_Launcher is executed (see Figure 10.3.) This option will allow you to create a new password, but in order to protect the privacy of your data, the DT4000 will be formatted. This means that all of your data will be erased in the process.* When you do click on ‘Forgot Password’, a message box (Figure 10.
Drive Letter Conflict (Windows Operating Systems) As mentioned in the ‘System Requirements’ section of this manual (on page 3), the DT4000 requires two consecutive drive letters AFTER the last physical disk that appears before the ‘gap’ in drive letter assignments (see Figure 10.5.) This does NOT pertain to network shares because they are specific to user-profiles and not the system hardware profile itself, thus appearing available to the OS.
Error Messages Unable to create file – This error message will appear when attempting to CREATE a file or folder ON the secure data partition while logged in under read-only mode. Figure 10.6 – Unable to Create File Error Error Copying File or Folder – This error message will appear when attempting to COPY a file or folder TO the secure data partition while logged in under read-only mode.
