Conguration
IEEE 802.1x
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x which
is a port-based network access control. The network devices, intermediary
switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x
setting.
The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area
networks, which provides authentication to network devices (clients)
attached to a network port (wired or wireless). If all certicates between
client and server are veried, a point-to-point connection will be enabled. If
authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an
existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate
communication.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:
1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x,
please apply a digital certicate from a Certicate Authority (ie. MIS of your
company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server.
2. Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN.
Open the conguration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-
PEAP or EAP-TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your
ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certicate(s).
3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by
connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the
authentication automatically.
QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which
guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality
of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufcient,
especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be
dened as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet
dropping, etc.
