  • Page 28: The Authentication Process

    Axis implementation is EAPOL using EAP-TLS (EAP-Transport Layer Security). The Axis network video device presents its certificate to the network switch, which in turn forwards this to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server validates or rejects the certificate and responds to the switch, and sends its own certificate to the client for validation.

  • Page 29: Audio Support

    This certificate is created by the Certification Authority for the purpose of validating itself, so the AXIS P1311 needs this certificate to check the server's identity. Provide the path to the certificate directly, or use the Browse... button to locate it. Then click the Upload button. To remove a certificate, click the Remove button.

    DHCP should only be enabled if your DHCP server can update a DNS server, which then allows you to access AXIS P1311 by name (host name). If DHCP is enabled and you cannot access the unit, run AXIS IP Utility to search the net- work for connected Axis products or reset the network camera to factory default settings and then perform the instal- lation again.

  • Page 32 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).
  • Page 33 QoS Settings - For each type of network traffic supported by your Axis network video product, enter a DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint) value. This value is used to mark the traffic’s IP header. When the marked traffic reaches a network router or switch, the DSCP value in the IP header tells the router or switch the type of treatment to apply to this type of traffic, for example, how much bandwidth to reserve for it.
