AXIS Q1755/-E - System Options
IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless
network devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devic
es must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service. In Axis implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate
themselves with the help of digital certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security).
The certificates are provided by an Certification Authority (CA). You need:
• a CAcertificate to validate the identity of the auth
entication server
• a CA-signed client certificate and a private
key to authenticate the network device.
To allow the network device to access a netw
ork protected by IEEE 802.1X:
1. Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client
private key (contact your network administrator).
2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and the
client private key.
3. Under SETTINGS, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.
4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.
Certificates
CA Certificate - The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to the
certificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a certificate, click Remove.
Client Certificate/Client
private key - The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device.
They can be uploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client private key field if
uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click
Upload. To remove a file, click Remove.
Settings
Eapol version - Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in your network switch.
Eap identity - Enter the user identity (maximum 16 characters) assoc
iated with your certificate.
Private key password - Enter the password (maximum 16 characters) for the private key.
Enable IEEE 802.1X - Check the box to enable the IEEE 802.1X protocol.
Audio Support
Enable audio support - allow clients to retrieve audio streams from the camera. See also
Audio Settings, on page 18
for
information on how to configure the audio settings.
Note:
This parameter
will enable/disable all audio functionality in the camera, even in configured events and profiles with
audio.
