4. AEGIS VAuLT SOFTwArE

The Aegis Vault software installs two programs into the All Programs|

Apricorn|Aegis Vault Software menu, the VaultTray and VaultResize.

The VaultTray program allows the drive administrator to complete the

initial setup and format of the hard drive, as well as create and manage

additional user passwords. The VaultResize program allows the drive

administrator to resize the private partition, as well as reset the encryption

on the drive. A third program, the VaultConsole, can be used to gain

access to the drive on a system that does not have the Aegis Vault

software installed.

To start the VaultTray program:

Go to Start|All Programs|Apricorn|Aegis Vault Software and

click on VaultTray. If the program is already running, click on the Aegis

Vault icon in the system tray. During the installation process, VaultTray is

congured to automatically start when Windows boots up. The VaultTray

program has 5 buttons; Lock/Unlock, Format, Add User Password , Change

Password and Reset Vault. These buttons may be active or inactive

depending on the user level.

Lock/Unlock: This button locks and unlocks the drive. The button title

changes depending on drive state

When the Aegis Vault is in the locked state the button reads Unlock. The

user or drive administrator need to check the appropriate radio button

(User or Administrator) and enter a password to unlock the drive. In this

state the message eld at the bottom of the window will read: Vault Drive

is Unlocked. Once the Aegis Vault is unlocked the encrypted data on the

drive may be accessed.
