Section 3 - Configuration
IEEE 802.1x
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 setting.
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.
Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:
1. Before connecting the 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 camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open
the configuration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-
TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password
issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s).
3. When all settings are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by
connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the
authentication automatically.
CoS
IEEE 802.1p defines a QoS model at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link Layer), which is called
CoS, Class of Service. It adds a 3-bit value to the VLAN MAC header, which indicates
prioritization from 0~7 (Eight different classes of service are available). The priority
is set up on the network switches, which then use different queuing disciplines to
forward the packets.
Please follow the steps below to enable CoS settings:
1. Tick Enable CoS.
2. Enter the VLAN ID of your switch (0~4095).
3. Choose the priority for each application (0~7).
