Encryption Key Management
To manage the encryption key settings, login the NAS as an administrator and go
to “Storage Manager” > “Encryption”.
There are three options to manage the encryption key:
Change the encryption key: Enter your old encryption password and the new
password. (Please note that after the password is changed, any previously exported
keys will not work anymore. The new encryption key needs to be downloaded if
necessary, see below.)
Download the encryption key file: Enter the encryption password to download the
encryption key file. With this option, the encryption key can be saved as a file. The
file is also encrypted and can be used to unlock a volume, without knowing the real
password (see “Locking and unlocking disk volumes manually” below.) Please save the
encryption key file in a secure place!
Save the encryption key: Save the encryption key on the NAS to automatically
unlock and mount the encrypted disk volume after the NAS restarts.
Locking and unlocking disk volumes manually
To lock a volume, login the NAS as an administrator. Go to “Storage Manager” >
“Encryption”. Select a volume and click “Lock this Volume”.
