Converting File Encryption Devices to Media Encryption

To convert a File Encryption device to Media Encryption:

  1. Connect the device to a computer that has an Endpoint Security Client with Media Encryption & Port Protection active.

  2. This message shows:

    To access the device, you need to convert it to Media Encryption format.

  3. Click OK.

  4. If necessary, enter the File Encryption credentials of the device in the window that opens. These must be the credentials originally to encrypt the storage device. They can be:

    • A corporate username and password assigned by the administrator

    • A personal username and password defined for this storage device

    If the device was originally encrypted with a corporate password and Media Encryption & Port Protection can find the password on the computer, this window does not open.

  5. Enter and then enter again a new password for the device.

  6. Click Continue.

  7. Optionally, edit the Media Encryption settings.

  8. Click Encrypt.

  9. When the encryption is complete, click Finish.
