method. All settings must match the settings in the access point. The following security methods are
supported, where WPA
TM
-/WPA2
TM
-Enterprise is more secure than WPA-/WPA2-PSK, which in turn is more secure than WEP:
•
WPA-/WPA2–PSK. See
.
•
WPA-/WPA2-Enterprise. See
•
No security (not recommended). See
.
If applicable, select the
Network type

device and create a local network.
About wireless certificates
Wireless network certificates are used to authenticate devices on a wireless network. Wireless networks using the
WPA
TM
-/WPA2-Enterprise security method are protected by EAPOL (Extensible Authentication Protocol Over Lan), which is part of
the IEEE 802.1X standard. The client authenticates the server using digital certificates. The server authenticates the client using
digital certificates or a password depending on the selected WPA-Enterprise type.
To install and manage certificates, go to
System Options > Security > Certificates
. For more information, see
and
WPA
TM
-/WPA2
TM
-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.
How to configure the wireless settings using WPA-/WPA2–PSK
1. Go to
System Options > Security > Wireless
.
2. In the
SSID
field, type the name of the wireless network.
3. Under
Security
, select
WPA-/WPA2–PSK
.
4. Enter the required
Passphrase
for the access point.
5. Click

WPA
TM
-/WPA2-Enterprise
The security method
WPA-/WPA2-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
•
EAP-PEAP/MSCHAPv2. See
.
About 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.
