6. LOGGING INTO KDM

7. ENCRYPTING FILES AND FOLDERS

8. REMOVING YOUR DEFENDER

Kanguru Defender drives can be remotely managed using the Kanguru Remote Management Console

(KRMC). If your drive is congured for use with KRMC

Enterprise edition then this step will not be available.

To Enable KRMC Cloud functionality:

1. Select the Enable KRMC Cloud option and then click on the Apply button.

2. A dialog box will appear asking if you want to register your device with KRMC Cloud. Click on the Yes button.

3. Your web browser will open and direct you to the KRMC Cloud login page.

After completing the Setup Wizard, the KDM application will start. For security reasons, you will be asked to enter your password.

To continue, enter your password and then click on the

password, it will mount the secure partition. You can now access the secure partition as you would a standard removable drive.

Warning! If you enter your password incorrectly 7 times in a row (by default), then your data will be automatically erased. An on screen warning message will be displayed after the 6th failed attempt, informing you that you only have one password attempt remaining.

Note: Click on the VK icon to access the virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard is a graphical representation of a standard keyboard layout. You can click on the keys on the virtual keyboard to enter your password in order to prevent keylogging software from spying your login password.

A key feature of the Kanguru Defender is Drag &

Drop functionality; allowing you to simply drag les

and folders that you want to encrypt onto the drive’s secure partition using the standard Windows Explorer interface. The Kanguru Defender automatically encrypts

these les.

To open the secure partition, simply click on the KDM taskbar icon and select Explore Security Drive.

Alternatively, you can access the private partition through My Computer or Windows Explorer. The secure partition will be labeled SECURITY once it is unlocked.

Note: Files saved on the secure partition of your Kanguru Defender device are only accessible after you have successfully logged into KDM.

To exit KDM, click on the KDM taskbar icon and select

Unmount Kanguru Defender.

When you exit the application, KDM will lock the

SECURITY partition and your les will become

inaccessible until you login with the correct password again.

Warning: Do not disconnect the Kanguru Defender

without rst properly unmounting your device. Doing so may result in le damage or corruption.

After you have umounted the security partition, use the “Safely Remove Hardware” option from the system tray in order to safely disconnect your drive.

2. KANGURU DEFENDER MANAGER

Kanguru Defender Manager (KDM) manages your password and allows you to access the Defender’s secure partition. It is pre-loaded on your Kanguru Defender so no installation on your PC is necessary.

To start KDM, plug your Kanguru Defender into a USB port on your computer. KDM should autorun itself.

If KDM does not run automatically, open My Computer or Windows Explorer. The Kanguru Defender will be displayed as two drive letters. One drive is the CDROM partition where KDM is pre-loaded, the other drive is the secured partition which will appear as a removable disk (the secure partition will appear as SECURITY after you login).

Note: If your Kanguru Defender ash drive has a

physical write-protect switch, the switch needs to be set to the unlocked position (switched towards the USB connector) in order to setup KDM.

When you start KDM for the rst time, you will be

greeted by the Setup Wizard.

3. ACTIVATING ANTIVIRUS

KDM will automatically check if your drive has a valid antivirus license key. Your Defender needs to be connected to a computer with internet access in order to activate the on-board antivirus protection. Note: Antivirus is only available for Windows. If your drive is an Enterprise Edition device, this step will not be available.

4. SETTING A PASSWORD

The password that you choose must contain at least 8 characters (by default). For security reasons, it is recommended that you incorporate letters, numbers and symbols to achieve maximum security.

If your passwords do not match or there is any conict

with the passwords you entered in the Set Password section, an explanation will be visible in the Password Info section.

Note: This is a Quick Start Guide only. Instructions

here are described specically for Windows operating

systems, even though your device may be compatible with multiple operating systems. For complete instructions, including instructions for use with other supported operating systems, please download the device’s user manual from the Kanguru Support Site under the Downloads section at: http://support.kanguru.com/

Open the CD-ROM partition and then double-click on the KDM.exe le to start the application.

The KDM.exe le will remain on your Kanguru

Defender’s CD-ROM partition so that you can run the application on different computers from your Defender. Please always run the application from the CD-ROM partition and never from a hard drive on your laptop or desktop.

To begin, click on the Next button and then follow the simple instructions to setup your Defender’s login password.

If your Defender does not already have a valid antivirus

license key, then you must ll out the registration form

with the required information and then click on the Apply button in order to activate your free antivirus trial. If you decide to skip activating your antivirus now,

you will not be able to activate without rst resetting

your drive to the factory default setting.

Click on the Next button to continue with setting up your Defender’s login password.

Note: The Password Info section updates in real time. Please disregard the messages in the Password Info

section until you have nished entering your password in both the Password and Conrm Password elds.

After you have entered your password in both boxes, click on the Apply button and then click on the Next button.
