Device Usage (Windows Environment)

Once the DTL+ G3 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 DTL+ G3 into a USB port on your notebook or desktop and enter your pass- word (see Figure 4.1.)

2.Once you’ve typed your password, click the ‘Login’ button to continue.

∙If the correct password is entered, the DTL+ G3 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.)

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 DTL+ G3 will lock and require a device format of the secure data partition prior to next use.

THIS MEANS THAT ALL DATA STORED ON THE DTL+ G3 WILL BE LOST.

For more details on this feature, see ‘Device Lockout’ on page 20.

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