DigiSAFE DiskCrypt M100 User Manual 9
4.2 Administrative Functions
(Note that this section is not applicable to Enterprise Users. Enterprise Users may
approach their Administrators.)
DISKCRYPT M100 provides the following Administrative functions:
1. Initialize a DigiSAFE smart card to use it with DISKCRYPT M100
2. Enable/disable the smart card Lockout mode.
3. Admin smart card initialization
4. Change the Admin PIN
Additional smart cards may be purchased from your local reseller/distributor. You will
need a supported smart card and the 8-digit Admin PIN to enter the mode. The default
factory Admin PIN is “87654321”. To exit Administrative mode, remove and reconnect
the USB cable.
Note:
It is recommended to change the default 8-digit Admin PIN. Refer to Section
4.2.4 for details.
You are responsible to remember the Admin PIN. The Administrative functions will
be locked after 8 consecutive incorrect PIN attempts.
It is NOT possible to connect to the hard disk via ANY of the above Administrative
modes. To do so, remove and reconnect the USB cable to exit the Administrative
mode and proceed to enter the smart card PIN to authenticate to DISKCRYPT M100.
4.2.1 Smart Card Initialization
This procedure allows a DigiSAFE smart card to be used with the particular DISKCRYPT
M100 device. To initialize a smart card, follow these steps:
1. Insert the new smart card into DISKCRYPT M100. The keypad will turn on to allow
key entry.
2. The ERROR LED will light up indicating an invalid card has been inserted. Ignore
the LED and continue with the steps.
3. Press the ADMIN button, followed by the ‘0’ button.
4. Press ENTER. The STATUS LED will blink three times.
5. Enter the 8-digit Admin PIN and press ENTER.
6. DISKCRYPT M100 will proceed to initialize the smart card to be used with that
particular DISKCRYPT M100 device. While the initialization process is taking place,
the STATUS LED will continue to blink. At the end of the process, DISKCRYPT
M100 will provide three ‘beep’ sounds to indicate that this operation is successful.
7. Remove and reconnect the USB cable to exit the Administrative mode.
Note:
Once a new smart card is initialized, you will need to repartition/reformat any
existing drive, as the encryption key will be different. The existing data in the drive
will be lost with the new card.
