WPA -/WPA2 -PSK
The security method WPA-/WPA2–PSK is designed for small networks and does not require an authentication server. The Axis
product uses a PSK (Pre-Shared Key) to authenticate with the access point. The key can be entered either as manual hex — a 64
hexdecimal number (0–9, A-F) — or a passphrase using 8–63 ASCII characters. The longer the passphrase, the more secure is the key.
To configure the wireless settings using the WPA-/WPA2–PSK security method:
1. Enter the required Passphrase for the access point.
2. Click Save.

WPA -/WPA-Enterprise
The security method WPA-/WPA-Enterprise is designed for large networks and requires an authentication server. The network is
protected by EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan).
Select the WPA-Enterprise type being used by the access point:
• EAP-TLS. See page 49.
• EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2. See page 49.
EAP-TLS
The authentication protocol EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security) allows the client and server to
authenticate each other using digital certificates provided by a Certification Authority. To gain access to the protected network, the
Axis product presents its certificate to the network access point. Access is granted if the certificate is approved.
Important
To ensure successful certificate validation, time synchronization should be performed on all clients and servers prior to
configuration.
To configure the wireless settings using the WPA
1. Enter the user Identity associated with your certificate.
2. Enter the Private key password for your user identity.
3. Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in the access point.
4. Click Save.
For more information on certificates for wireless networks, see Certificates on page 50.
EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2
The authentication protocol EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2 (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol/Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) allows the client to authenticate the network using a digital
certificate provided by a Certification Authority. The network authenticates the client using an identity and a password. To gain
access to the protected network, the Axis product presents its identity and password to the network access point. If these credentials
are approved, the access point allows access on a preconfigured port.
Important
To ensure successful certificate validation, time synchronization should be performed on all clients and servers prior to
configuration.
To configure the wireless settings using the WPA
1. Enter the user Identity associated with your certificate.
2. Enter the Password for your user identity.
