802.1X Tab

Configure the wired port-based authentication in

compliance with the 802.1X standard.

Notes

• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need

knowledge of the 802.1X authentication and digital

certificate. To establish an 802.1X network, you need

to configure the authenticator, authentication server

and other elements. For details on these settings, refer

to the manual of the corresponding equipment.

• When using the 802.1X authentication function,

always configure the settings after setting the date and

time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect,

port authentication may not be performed correctly.

System configuration of 802.1X

network

The following figure shows a general system

configuration of an 802.1X network.

Supplicant

A supplicant is a device that connects to the

authentication server to join the network. This camera

serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The

supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after

appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

Authenticator

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or

response data that the supplicant or authentication server

issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or

access point serves as an authenticator.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting

users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.

It can also be called RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)

A CA issues and manages certificates of the

authentication server (CA certificates) and user

certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based

user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an

authentication server.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant

and the server authenticate using the certificate. This

mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

Common setting

Enable

Select the checkbox to enable the 802.1X authentication

function.

EAP identity

Type the user name to identify the client in the 802.1X

authentication server up to 250 characters.

EAP password

A supplicant EAP password is needed to be inputted

when PEAP is selected with EAP condition. The

password can contain half-width letters and the length

should be within 50 characters.

Reset

To change the once set EAP password, click Reset and

clear the current password. A new password can be

entered.

Note

After you click Reset, if you wish to cancel the EAP

password change, click Cancel at the bottom of the

screen. This will cancel other changes made to the

settings.

EAP method

You can select the authentication method used with the

authentication server. This device supports TLS and

PEAP.
