IEEE 802.1x

Advanced Mode

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 settings.

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 certificates between client and server are verified, 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�

■The components of a protected network with 802.1x authentication:

Supplicant

Authenticator

Authentication Server

(Network Camera)

(Network Switch)

(RADIUS Server)

1� Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�

2� Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users

from communicating with the authentication server�

3� Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certificate and decides whether to

accept the end user’s access request�

■VIVOTEK Network Cameras support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and EAP-TLS�

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x settings:

1.Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS

server�

2� Connect the Network Camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN� Open the configuration page of the Network Camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAPor EAP-TLSas the EAP method� In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).
