AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - System Options

Leaving this field blank means the camera will attempt to access the nearest open network.

Note:

SSID is sometimes written as ESSID.

Network type - Setting this to Master means the camera will attempt to access the specified access point or the nearest open access point if the SSID is left blank. The Ad-hoc option allows the camera to connect to other wireless devices (clients).

Note:

WEP is the only available encryption method for the Ad-hoc setting (see below).

Security - The AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W has three security options:

•WPA-/WPA2-PSK

•WPA-/WPA2-Enterprise

•WEP

WPA-/WPA2-Enterprise is more secure than WPA-/WPA2-PSK, which in turn is more secure than WEP. For detailed instructions on setting up Wireless security in your AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W, refer to the Installation Guide.

WPA-/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)

The AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W uses a pre-shared key (PSK) to initiate WPA security. The pre-shared key is entered on the access point and on each device on the wireless network. The key can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters. The access point keeps out unauthorized users by requiring the key to communicate.

WPA-/WPA2-Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Enterprise)

WPA-/WPA2-Enterprise is a security method that provides strong data protection for multiple users and large networks. It uses the 802.1X authentication framework with TKIP or AES encryption. Network users trying to gain access are verified through an authentication server.

Certificates - The client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates provided by a Certificate Authority. To gain access to the protected network, the AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W presents its certificate to the network switch. If the certificate is approved, the switch allows access. You may need to contact your network administrator for information on certificates, user IDs and passwords.

For more information on certificates refer to the online help .

WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection)

The original security standard used in wireless networks that provides a minimal level of security that can deter minor intrusions.

Note:

Configuring the AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W using an unsecured wireless connection is not recommended, since passphrases and keys saved will be sent in plain text. The fastest, most secure method to configure AXIS M1011-W/AXIS M1031-W is using a wired connection, since it disables the wireless connection and ensures greater secrecy while enter- ing settings.

SOCKS

SOCKS is a networking proxy protocol. The Axis network camera can be configured to use a SOCKS server to reach networks on the other side of a firewall/proxy server. This functionality is useful if the network camera is located on a local network behind a firewall, and notifications, uploads, alarms, and such need to be sent to a destination outside the local network (such

as the Internet). See the online help for more information.
