IEEE 802.1X

Configure the wired port-based authentication in
compliance with the IEEE 802.1X standard.
Notes
• To use the IEEE 802.1X authentication function, you
need knowledge of the IEEE 802.1X authentication
and digital certificate. To establish an IEEE 802.1X
network, you need to configure the authenticator,
authentication server and other elements. For details
on these settings, refer to the manual of the
corresponding equipment.
• When using the IEEE 802.1X authentication function,
always configure the settings after setting the date and
time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect,
port authentication may not be performed correctly.

System configuration of IEEE
802.1X network
The following figure shows a general system
configuration of an IEEE 802.1X network.
Authentication server + CA
Supplicant
A supplicant is a device that connects to the
authentication server to join the network. This camera
serves as a supplicant in the IEEE 802.1X network. The
supplicant can enter the IEEE 802.1X network after
appropriate authentication by the authentication server.
Authenticator
An authenticator forwards certificate request data or
response data that the supplicant or authentication server
issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or
access point serves as an authenticator.
Authentication server
An authentication server has a database of connecting
users and verifies whether the supplicant is a valid user
or not. It can also be called a RADIUS server.
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA issues and manages certificates of the
authentication server (CA certificates) and user
certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based
user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an
authentication server.
Note
This camera supports EAP mode, in which the
supplicant and the server authenticate using the
