2.Click Save.

Certificates

Wireless network certificates are used to authenticate devices on a wireless network. Wireless networks using the

WPATM-/WPA-Enterprise security method are protected by EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan), which is part of the IEEE 802.1X standard. The client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates provided by a Certificate Authority. To gain access to the protected wireless network, the Axis product 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

CA certificate - Created by the Certification Authority for the purpose of validating itself and is used by the Axis product for checking the server’s identity.

Client certificate/Client private key - Used for the Axis product to authenticate itself using a client certificate and a private key.

To upload a CA certificate:

1.Enter the path to the certificate directly or click Browse to locate the file.

2.Click Upload.

To upload a client certificate/client private key:

1.Use the Client private key field if uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file or click Browse to locate the file.

2.Click Upload.

To remove a CA certificate/Client certificate/Client private key, click Remove.

Note

Installed certificates will be deleted if the product is reset to factory default.

For more information about IEEE 802.1X, see IEEE 802.1X, on page 39.

SOCKS

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

SOCKS is configured under System Options > Network > SOCKS. For more information, see the online help .

QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.

The QoS settings are configured under System Options > Network > QoS. Using DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) values, the Axis product can mark the following types of traffic: live video, live audio, event/alarm traffic and management traffic.

Note

Live audio DSCP will be equal to live video DSCP if H.264 over RTSP is used.
