<li><p> Point your web browser at the address of your <ahref="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox">CryptoBox</a>. The default is <ahref="https://192.168.0.23&weblang=en">https://192.168.0.23</a>. </p>
<li><p> Click on <em>Activation of encrypted data</em>. A new page asking for your crypto password appears. </p>
</li>
<li><p> Enter your crypto password and click on the button below labeled <em>activate encrypted filesystem</em>. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Now the filesystem is accessible. To use it, search for a computer in your network neighborhood. When asked for the name, enter the above IP address (default: 192.168.0.23). Now you can use it like any other network resource. </p>
<h2id="head-e0aa50e84f7fc78cc9e76ea1aabe9616a19d17ea">Deactivate your encrypted filesystem</h2>
<p>You can deactivate the encrypted filesystem by clicking at <em>Deactivation of encrypted data</em> in the web interface of your <ahref="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a>. </p>
<h2id="head-3a58ba4feb37b325aecffed0f0b9cd3048b4ad48">Shut down your CryptoBox</h2>
<p>Click at the <em>Shutdown</em> link in the menu of the web interface. There you can choose <em>poweroff</em> or <em>reboot</em>. The shutdown takes some seconds. </p>
<p>If the hardware of your <ahref="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> is quite recent, it will power-off automatically. Otherwise you have to do it manually. </p>
<p>If you have to protect the drive really fast, just power-off the <ahref="/cryptobox?action=doc&page=CryptoBox&weblang=en">CryptoBox</a> machine instantly by pulling the plug or pushing the power button. This is not very clean and can (in very rare circumstances) corrupt open files, but it is the fasted method to secure your data. </p>
