Configuration of your CryptoBox

Overview

All parts of administration of the CryptoBox are done through a comfortable web interface. If this is the first time you use the CryptoBox, just follow the steps below.

You can safely ignore the Foreword if you are in a hurry.

Initialization describes the process of integrating a new harddisk. You usually have to perform this steps if you start with a new CryptoBox or after replacing the harddisk.

In the Configuration section, you can configure the CryptoBox according to your personal needs, e.g. change your desired language for the web interface or change the IP address of the CryptoBox.

Do not forget to read the Hints / Caveats section too.

Foreword

Okay, you finished the CryptoBoxUserGettingStarted and are now sitting in front of a computer that is connected via network with your CryptoBox. You point a browser to "https://192.168.0.23" and the CryptoBox interface appears.

Before you can save data on your CryptoBox, its harddisk has to be formatted with a cryptographic filesystem. Sounds complicated but don't be scared - it's really a "one click" thing. :)

Initialization

Click on Initialize CryptoBox in the title bar.

Now you are promted to enter two passwords twice (because we want to train your typing skills ;).

That's all. Wasn't it a real "one click" thing? Cryptography has never been easier to use. ;)

The initialization process takes place in the background and will be completed after a few minutes, depending on your harddisk's size.

Configuration

While the initialization is usually done only once, the configuration can be changed at any time you want. You can reach it by clicking at Configuration in the menu bar of the website. Now you see a form with four fields:

Complete your changes by clicking on Save configuration.

That's all - your CryptoBox is now ready for daily use!
