Verbatim POWERBAY NAS Array User Manual page 14

Enable / Disable Encryption: During disk confi guration, select Enable
or Disable. If Enable is selected, you will be prompted to enter a
password key string. Also you may optionally select one of two
additional encryption options.
Password Key: Enter a password key string of 6-10 characters.
Auto Unlock During System Reboot:
Check the Auto Unlock box if you want the NAS always to power up in
the UNLOCKED state. Use the feature with caution, since anyone who
can access the PowerBay NAS array to power it off and back on can
unlock a locked array.
Store Key in USB Drive: If you want to use a USB storage device to
unlock a locked array, insert a USB Flash Drive or USB Hard Drive in the
front USB port and check this box. An encrypted key fi le will be written
to the USB device during confi guration. A USB key device created in
this way can later be used to UNLOCK a LOCKED array. The USB key
cannot be copied, although multiple USB keys may be created from
the Key Management page.
Press 'OK' to initiate drive reconfi guration. This process erases all data
on the array.
Managing the Encrypted Drive: Once the NAS array has been
encrypted, the Disk Confi guration page will show three additional
buttons.
'Lock' will LOCK the array. You will be prompted to enter the password
key string to continue. A locked array will not show up on the LAN as a
shared volume.
'Unlock' will UNLOCK the array. You will be prompted to enter the
password key string to continue.
'Key Management' will present options for managing the password
key.
'Reconfi gure' will still allow you to reconfi gure the array, although now
you will be prompted to enter the password key string before you can
continue.
Key Management: Use this page to defi ne how you want the password
key to be used for unlocking the encrypted array.
'Change' allows you to enter a new password key.
'Save' and 'Load' allow you to store an encrypted key fi le "Volume_1.
key" onto a computer on the LAN, and later retrieve the fi le to UNLOCK
a LOCKED array.
'Mail' allows the password key string to be e-mailed to all users whose
e-mail addresses have been entered into the Receiver E-mail fi elds
on the E-mail Settings page. If the administrator forgets the password
key, the administrator can recover the key by mailing it to himself. This
feature also means that anyone who discovers the administrator's User
Interface password can also easily discover the encryption key.
'Auto Unlock' and 'USB Key' options are offered again on this page. This
gives you a chance to invoke these options after you have confi gured
the array.
