Notes
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and
WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X
network, you need to configure the authenticator,
access point, authentication server and other elements.
For details on these settings, refer to the manual of the
corresponding equipment.
• When using the 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.
