¶ Client Control Panel
After creating a token and adding it to the flash drive containing the WIPERAPP ISO, it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with the WIPERAPP Client Control Panel before beginning the wiping process. This central interface serves as the hub for managing and executing secure wiping operations.
Let’s get started 🚀
¶ WIPE ALL
The WIPE ALL button in the WIPERAPP Client Control Panel initiates the secure wiping of all connected disks in an IDLE state.
INFO: The IDLE state indicates that no operations are currently being performed on the drive. It is ready for wiping.
NOTE: For detailed guidance on the drive wiping process, refer to the Wiping Drive Data Documentation.
¶ SETTINGS
The Settings section in the WIPERAPP Client Control Panel is a crucial feature for configuring and managing the data-wiping process. You can change or update settings for the wiping operation, giving you complete control over how the data sanitization process is carried out.
¶ SYNC Feature
The SYNC feature allows you to synchronize the settings with those defined in the WIPERAPP Admin Panel. For example, if you’ve customized wiping settings in the Admin Panel, such as the number of overwrite passes or enabling specific erasure methods, using the
SYNC feature will ensure that these changes are immediately applied to your current session.
Step 1: Click on the SETTINGS button in the WIPERAPP Control Panel.
Step 2: Click the SYNC button to synchronize the settings with the WIPERAPP Admin Panel. This will pull all the settings to your account that have already been applied in the Admin account.
Step 3: Click on the SAVE button to proceed.
NOTE: For detailed guidance on specific configurations, refer to the Settings documentation.
