How To Get Started

When you purchase a Kanguru Defender encrypted drive, you will have access to the world's most robust remote management platform for Defender devices. The KRMC-Hosted BASIC account is a FREE starter account.

Included in the BASIC Package:

• Remotely Enable & Disable Lost or Stolen Drives
• FREE with Purchase of a Defender Secure Drive

Plug in your new Defender drive to a USB port. When you plug in the drive for the first time, you will be prompted to set up the initial security settings of the drive with the Setup Wizard. Follow the prompts to begin this process.

Note: Be sure to enter a valid email address during setup, as this email will be used for your security access and communication purposes. An activation code will be sent to the email you provide, which you will need to confirm during the activation process.

Create a strong password for your drive using the parameters provided in the setup window. Green checkmarks will indicate that your password meets the requirements. You can also use the virtual keyboard for added security if you suspect the computer you are using has keylogging software. Hit Save, and Finish to complete the setup for your Defender drive. The device security parameters will be activated.

When prompted, enter your new password and hit Login. This is the login process, and will give you access to the drive, bringing you to the device Command Console.

The Command Console is your command window for accessing all aspects of your Kanguru Defender device. You can view remaining free space on your drive, serial number, contact info, and many of the services available in this console, including an onboard browser. To learn more about the Command Console, visit "About the Kanguru Command Console".

In the lefthand menu of the Command Console, select "Settings" to open the Settings window. In this window you can change your password, setup a KRMC account, and other settings.

In the Settings window, select the KRMC tab to begin the process of setting up your KRMC account with your Defender device.

Click on the "Enable KRMC" button activate KRMC with your Defender drive. Leave this window open as you will be entering the cloud ID which you will capture from the next few steps.

In a browser window, go to www.kanguru.com, and select "KRMC Login" at the upper right-hand side of the menu. This will bring you to the KRMC Account Login window.

At the bottom right of the KRMC Login window, select "Create new account".

The information you enter here will create your new KRMC Account, and will be used to manage the KRMC account. You will need to create a password for this account. Ideally this password should be a different Administrator password than your Defender drive for best security practices.

Note: Be sure to enter a valid email address during setup, as this email will be used for your security access and communication purposes. An activation code will be sent to the email you provide, which you will need to confirm during the activation process.

Click REGISTER to activate your new account.

The Welcome window will confirm a successful set up of your KRMC account.

Once you complete the registration process for KRMC and the account is activated, log into the KRMC account with your new credentials.

in the upper right-hand corner of the KRMC Account, note the Server ID.

Go back to the Command Console Window of your Defender drive, and enter this into the box labeled Cloud Server ID. Click Verify.
