Purpose:
The speed dome 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 will not connect to
the network.
The protected LAN with 802.1X standard is shown as follows:
Speed Dome
PC
Network Switch
Internet
PC
RADIUS Server
Authenticator

Protected LAN
 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 your PC directly with a network cable.
2. Enter the 802.1X Settings interface:
