WEP
The security method WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) can be used to help secure a wireless network. However, WEP has some flaws,
which makes it more vulnerable to attacks and WPA
To configure the wireless settings using the WEP security method:
1. Select the network type being used by the access point, Master or Ad-Hoc.
2. Select the Authentication type, Open or Shared Key depending on the method used by the access point. Not all access
points have this option, in which case they probably use open system, also sometimes called SSID Authentication.
3. Select the Key length, 64 bit or 128 bit used for the wireless encryption.
4. Select the Key type, depending on the key type used by the access point and enter the key in the corresponding key fields.
Manual allows you to manually enter the hex key. ASCII requires the string to be exactly five characters for 64–bit WEP
and 13 characters for 128–bit WEP. The Passphrase can contain up to 31 characters. In 64–bit WEP the passphrase
generates four different keys. For 128–bit WEP, only one key is generated, which then is replicated for all four keys.
The Active transmit key selects which of the four keys the Axis product uses when transmitting information.

No Security
The No security option provides no protection against attacks. It is not a recommended method and should only be used during
short periods and exceptional cases.
To configure the wireless settings with no security:
1. Select the network type being used by the access point, Master or Ad-Hoc.
2. Click Save.
Certificates
Wireless network certificates are used to authenticate devices on a wireless network. Wireless networks using the
TM
WPA -/WPA-Enterprise security method are protected by EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan), which is part of the
IEEE 802.1X standard. The client and server authenticate each other using digital certificates provided by a Certificate Authority. To
gain access to the protected wireless network, the Axis product presents its certificate to the network switch. If the certificate is
approved, the switch allows access.
You may need to contact your network administrator for information on certificates, user IDs and passwords
CA certificate - Created by the Certification Authority for the purpose of validating itself and is used by the Axis product for
checking the server's identity.
Client certificate/Client private key - Used for the Axis product to authenticate itself using a client certificate and a private key.
To upload a CA certificate:
