fastest USB 2.0/1.1 or the latest 150  Mbytes/sec Serial ATA connection t o any 
Desktop or Notebook computer .At the same time data in the flash media is 
kept secure with Addonics bullet proof hardware encr yption technology. 
 
Features 
 
· USB 2.0, USB 1.1 or Serial ATA compliant     
· Power from USB 
· Read and write to PCMCIA hard drive, ATA Flash. 
· Read and write to CF-I, CF-II, Smart Memory™, Memory  Stick™, Micro 
Drive™, Multimedia Card™, Secure Digital Card™ and XD Card™ using 
optional Flash adapter. 
· Up to 480 Mbits/sec (60 MB/se c) data transfer* for USB 2.0,  
· 10 times the speed of USB  1.1 
 
Encryption 
 
· Hardware based 64-bit DES, 128-bit or 192-bit TDES full disk encryption  
· High performance - Data is encrypted and decrypted on th e fly by a 
certified crypto graphic engine in side an ASIC without taking an y CPU 
resources  
· Encryption / Decryption via a hardware key, just like using a regular  key to 
open a door.  
· Simple to deploy with no training required, no softw are to install and no 
password to remember  
· Platform independ ency - There is no software or driver to instal l to use 
Addonics encryption products. This is important in organization with multi

Chapter 2  Cipher UDD key 
 
Check to make sure you have th e correct version of Cipher  UDD key. The key 
should match  the label at th e back of the UDD enclosure. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
IMPORTANT  
 
There is no back door for the Cipher UDD encrypted flash card if the key is 
lost or stolen.  
 
To ensure that t here is a spare key, your Cipher UDD bundled kit comes with 
one pair of Cipher UDD keys. These 2 key s have identical encryption code. One 
of these keys should be kept in a safe and secure location  and can be sent back 
to Addonics for duplicati ng additional keys. If y ou are down to the last key, be 
sure to make a back up of all the data stored inside your encrypted flash card 
prior to sending th e last key to Addo nics. Addonics is n ot responsible for key  
lost in the mail or retrieval of the data inside the encrypted flash card. 
 
Ø The CIPHER key MU ST be inserted at the front of the UDD enclosure 
in order for th e flash card to be ACTIVATED. 
Ø Once the flash card is INITIALIZED using the Ciph er key that comes 
with the kit, the flash card can only be acces sed by the original  key. 
Ø The 2 keys that come with each Cipher UDD bundled kit have their 
own unique encryption code.  So the key s among different kits are not 
interchangeable. 
 
If you have multiple sets of Cipher UDD kits and would like all the keys to 
have the same en cryption code, you may make this request at  the time of your 
order or ma il the keys  together with  master key back to Addonics to reco de 
them for you. Again be sure that you keep a spare key with you. Make a back 
up of your data if you are mailing i n your last key.

Chapter 3 Keeping Track of the Flash Cards  
 
If you are usin g the Ciph er UDD to encrypt multiple f lash cards, it is importa nt 
to label your flash cards if you are taking th e card out of the UDD enclos ure.  
The flash card with Cipher UDD encryption will look like a brand new flash 
card when access by an ordinary flash reader/writer or equivalen t type of 
device. There will be no partition or any hint to indicate th at the flash card 
contains encrypted data.  When the flash card is partitioned, all the encrypted 
data will be lost.  
 
The same holds true if a flash card already has data on it is inserted into the 
Cipher UDD. The computer detects the flash card as a bran d new memory card 
or a memory card that is unallocated. Once yo u proceed to partition th e flash 
card, the data that  was on the flash card will be erased and cannot be reco vered. 
 
A Cipher UDD encrypted flash card can be moved to another Cipher UDD but 
the same key use d in encrypting the flash card must be used in the other Cipher 
UDD in order to access the flash card. 
 
If you are installing multiple Cipher UDD kits into a large organization, it 
is important to keep track of the flash card and the encryption key. Once it 
gets mixed up, there is no possible way to recover the data on the encrypted 
flash card.

Chapter 5 Operation of the Cipher UDD 
 
The Cipher UDD is designed not to draw any po wer when there is no media 
inserted. So the LED light will r emain off even the device is c onnected to the 
computer. 
 
Note: If the flash media i s inserted before the cipher key, the OS wo uld not 
detect the flash media.  
 
Adding a Flash media to the Cipher UDD 
 
Step 1 
Insert the Cipher key into the key slo t. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Step 2 
Insert the media fully into the device, the 
both LED lights will turn green, 
indicatin g the media is properly inserted 
inside and t he device is now  turned on.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Your operating system will report new hardware detected and begin to install 
the device. Thi s may take a few seconds before a new Removable Disk icon 
appears in the My Computer fo lder.  
During this initializati on, the top LED light on the Cipher UDD  blinks and will 
stay green once the computer recognizes the media. 
 
  
						

							Addonics Technologies – Cipher UDD User’s Guide v1.0 9
Once the Removable Disk icon appears, th e media is now ready and can be 
used like regular floppy media. 
During th e read / write operation, the top LED light of the Cipher UDD w ill 
blink until operation is finished. 
 
Ejecting Flash media out of the Cipher UDD 
 
 
Step 1 
To remove the media, click on the Safe 
Remove icon to stop the connection.  
 
Once the “you may now safely  remove 
window” shows up. 
 
 
 
 
Step 2  
Remove the media from the Ciph er 
UDD by pushing on the eject button. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note: If you eject the media from the Ciph er UDD without checking the 
Safe Remove icon, a warnin g message will appear from Windows 98SE, 
Me and 2000. This message is a reminder t hat it is safer to use the Saf e 
Remove icon when you remove the media to pr event possible data loss in 
case you are in  the middle of copy ing a file to and from the media. You can 
go ahead and close this message. 
 
After the media is ejected from the Cipher UDD, the LED ligh t will go off, 
indicating the media is fully eje cted from the device.  
 
Do not pull the media out of the device without using the eject button. 
This may crash the computer, as it does no t realize the media has been 
manually removed from the device.
