USB-hub Apricorn Aegis Configurator AP-CONFIG-KIT-EMEA

The Apricorn Aegis Configurator AP-CONFIG-KIT-EMEA is a Windows-based USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-B hub and configuration tool designed to program and provision compatible Aegis secure USB devices. The software recognizes connected devices and allows administrators to create, edit and store master device profiles for repeat deployments, implement corporate security policy settings, pre-load files, reformat drives, and auto-generate random Admin, User, and data recovery PINs. The device supports Windows 10, 8, and 7 and connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1; the hub provides multiple Type-A downstream ports for connecting several devices simultaneously.

Advantages

The Apricorn Aegis Configurator combines a compact USB hub with dedicated configuration software, enabling fast programming of features and PINs into compatible Aegis secure devices. It stores profile settings for repeated use, maintains a comprehensive configuration history with searchable profiles by device type, profile name, or serial number, and supports multiple-drive setups. The tool also allows devices to be deployed with Admin and data recovery PINs or in a User Forced Enrollment state requiring the user to create a unique PIN before first use.

• IT administrators deploying multiple Apricorn Aegis secure USB devices
• Organizations enforcing corporate security policies across endpoint removable drives

How to use

Connect the Apricorn Aegis Configurator hub to a Windows PC using the USB Type-B host interface. Launch the Aegis Configurator software; the program will detect connected compatible Aegis devices. Create or load a master profile, configure policy settings, PIN options, and any pre-loaded files or formatting actions, then apply the profile to one or multiple connected devices. Use the configuration history to review, edit, or delete saved profiles and to search for settings by device type, profile name, or serial number.

Recommendations

Use the configurator on a secure, up-to-date Windows system and retain backups of master profiles. Verify device compatibility before large-scale deployments and review the configuration history to confirm successful provisioning of Admin, User, and data recovery PINs.
