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 32-
bit) for purposes of demonstrating use of the DT4000 device in the Linux OS. Keep in mind 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 list) 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.
