AXIS Q1604–E Network CameraSystem OptionsIEEE 802.1XIEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless networkdevices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by athird-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and MicrosoftInternet Authentication Service.In Axis' implementation, the network device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digitalcertificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by anCertification Authority (CA). You need:• a CA certificate to validate the identity of the authentication server• a CA-signed client certificate and a private key to authenticate the network device.To allow the network device to access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X:1. Obtain a CA certificate, a client certificate and a client private key (contact your network administrator).2. Go to Setup > System Options > Security > IEEE 802.1X and upload the CA certificate, the client certificate and theclient private key.3. Under Settings, select the EAPOL version, provide your EAP identity and private key password.4. Check the box to enable IEEE 802.1X and click Save.CertificatesCA Certificate The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path tothe certificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To removea certificate, click Remove.Client certificateClient private keyThe client certificate and private key are used to authenticate the network device. They can beuploaded as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Clientprivate key field if uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate thefile using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a file, click Remove.SettingsEAPOL version Select the EAPOL version (1 or 2) as used in your network switch.EAP identity Enter the user identity (maximum 16 characters) associated with your certificate.Private key password Enter the password (maximum 16 characters) for the private key.Enable IEEE 802.1X Check the box to enable the IEEE 802.1X protocol.Audio SupportSelect Enable audio support to allow clients to retrieve audio streams from the Axis product. For information on how to configureaudio settings, seeAudio Settings, on page 24.NoteDeselecting this option will disable audio globally in the Axis product, for configured events and profiles with audio as well.Date & TimeThe Axis product’s date and time settings are configured under System Options > Date & Time.Current Server Time displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock in the text overlay (seebelow).37
