3.3.6 Configuring 802.1X Settings
Purpose:
The ITS Camera 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.
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to the PC directly with a network cable.
2. Enter the 802.1X Settings interface:
Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > 802.1X
