Figure 6-20 Protected LAN
 Before connecting the Network Camera to the protected LAN, 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.
 For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly
recommend the use of strong passwords for all functions and network devices. The password
should be something of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including
upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers and special characters) in order to increase
the security of your product.
 Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the
installer and/or end-user.
Steps:
1. Connect the network camera to your PC directly with a network cable.
2. Enter the 802.1X settings interface:
Configuration > Network > Advanced Settings > 802.1X
Figure 6-21 802.1X Settings
3. Check the Enable IEEE 802.1X checkbox to enable it.
4. Select a preferred protocol. EAP-LEAP, EAP-TLS, and EAP-MD5 are selectable.
 EAP-LEAP and EAP-MD5
If you use EAP-LEAP or EAP-MD5, the authentication server must be configured. Apply and
register a user name and password for 802.1X in the server.
Input the user name and password to access the server.
 EAP-TLS
If you use EAP-TLS, input Identify, Private Key Password, and upload CA Certificate, User
Certificate and Private Key.
5. Set the EAPOL version. The EAPOL version must be identical with that of the router or the
switch.
6. Configure the 802.1X settings, including user name and password.
7. Click to finish the settings.
