User Manual of Thermal Network Positioning system
Configuring 802.1X Settings
Purpose:
The positioning system supports IEEE 802.1X standard.
IEEE 802.1X is a port-based network access control. It enhances the security level of the
LAN. When devices connect to this network with IEEE 802.1X standard, the authentication
is needed. If the authentication fails, the devices don't connect to the network.
The protected LAN with 802.1X standard is shown as follows:
Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected LAN, please apply a
digital certificate from a Certificate Authority.
The network camera requests access to the protected LAN via the authenticator
(a switch).
The switch forwards the identity and password to the authentication server
(RADIUS server).
The switch forwards the certificate of authentication server to the network
camera.
If all the information is validated, the switch allows the network access to the
protected network.
For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly
recommend the use of strong passwords for all functions and network devices. The
password should be something of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8
characters, including upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and special
characters) in order to increase the security of your product.
Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility
of the installer and/or end-user.
Steps:
1.
Connect the network camera to your PC directly with a network cable.
2.
Enter the 802.1X settings interface:
Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > 802.1X
