EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2

The authentication protocol EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2(Extensible Authentication Protocol - Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol/Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) allows the client to authenticate the network using a digital certificate provided by a Certification Authority. The network authenticates the client using an identity and a password. To gain access to the protected network, the Axis product presents its identity and password to the network access point. If these credentials are approved, the access point allows access on a preconfigured port.

Important

To ensure successful certificate validation, time synchronization should be performed on all clients and servers prior to configuration.

To configure the wireless settings using the WPATM-/WPA-Enterprise security method and EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2:

1.Enter the user Identity associated with your certificate.

2.Enter the Password for your user identity.

3.Select the PEAP Version (0 or 1) as used in the access point.

4.Select the PEAP Label that the access point uses when using PEAP version 1. Select 1 to use client EAP encryption; select 2 to use client PEAP encryption.

5.Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in the access point.

6.Click Save.

WEP

The security method WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) can be used to help secure a wireless network. However, WEP has some flaws, which makes it more vulnerable to attacks and WPATM-WPA-Enterprise or WPA-/WPA2TM–PSK a better choice.

To configure the wireless settings using the WEP security method:

1.Select the network type being used by the access point, Master or Ad-Hoc.

2.Select the Authentication type, Open or Shared Key depending on the method used by the access point. Not all access points have this option, in which case they probably use open system, also sometimes called SSID Authentication.

3.Select the Key length, 64 bit or 128 bit used for the wireless encryption.

4.Select the Key type, depending on the key type used by the access point and enter the key in the corresponding key fields.

Manual allows you to manually enter the hex key. ASCII requires the string to be exactly five characters for 64–bit WEP and 13 characters for 128–bit WEP. The Passphrase can contain up to 31 characters. In 64–bit WEP the passphrase generates four different keys. For 128–bit WEP, only one key is generated, which then is replicated for all four keys.

The Active transmit key selects which of the four keys the Axis product uses when transmitting information.

5.Click Save.

No Security

The No security option provides no protection against attacks. It is not a recommended method and should only be used during short periods and exceptional cases.

To configure the wireless settings with no security:
