based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access

point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x setting.

The 802.1x standard is designed to enhance the security of local area networks,

which provides authentication to network devices (clients) attached to a network

port (wired or wireless). If all certicates between client and server are veried,

a point-to-point connection will be enabled. If authentication fails, access on

that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible

Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication.

Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting:

1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please

apply a digital certicate from a Certicate Authority (ie. MIS of your company)

which can be validated by a RADIUS server.

2. Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open

the conguration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-

TLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password

issued by the CA, then upload related certicate(s).

3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by

connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the

authentication automatically.

QoS (Quality of Service)

Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which

guarantees a certain quality to dierent services on the network. Quality of service

guarantees are important if the network capacity is insucient, especially for real-

time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be dened as, for instance, a

maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.

The following are the main benets of a QoS-aware network:

The ability to prioritize trac and guarantee a certain level of performance to the

data ow.

The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus
