Enabling data protection by keycard

Chapter 4: Enabling data protection by keycard – using the Freecom Hard Drive Keycard Protection software tool

4.1 Freecom Hard Drive Keycard Protection (Windows)

You can protect your Mobile Drive Secure from unwanted access by enabling the RFID protection. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, and this technology is used in the 2 keycards shipped with the drive and in the drive itself.

When starting to use the Mobile Drive Secure for the first time, you need to configure the 2 supplied keycards with the drive. The Mobile Drive Secure can identify maximum 2 keycards. We suggest that – after configuring – you use one keycard (labeled "Security Key") and store the other keycard (labeled "Master Key") in a safe place, in case your Security Key gets lost.

The use of the RFID protection with the keycards is purely optional. If you don’t want to use this security option, you can immediately use your Mobile Drive Secure out of the box, without any configuration steps necessary, just as any standard USB hard drive. You can also decide to use the keycard protection at a later stage, however please note that the drive needs to be reformatted then and all data on the drive will be lost.

The default setting of the Mobile Drive Secure is "No Keycard protection".

Attention: When setting up the security option, all data will be deleted on your hard drive. You have the possibility to backup all Freecom data (manuals, software etc.) to your local hard drive during the setup.
