VIVOTEK
User's Manual - 39
IEEE 802�1x
Advanced Mode
Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 8021x, which is a port-based network
access control� The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must
support and enable 802�1x settings�
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�
The components of a protected network with 802�1x authentication:
1�
Supplicant: A client end user (camera), which requests authentication�
2�
Authenticator (an access point or a switch): A “go between” which restricts unauthorized end users
from communicating with the authentication server
3�
Authentication server (usually a RADIUS server): Checks the client certicate and decides whether to
accept the end user’s access request�
VIVOTEK video servers support two types of EAP methods to perform authentication: EAP-PEAP and
EAP-TLS
Please follow the steps below to enable 802�1x settings:
1 Before connecting the video server to the protected network with 8021x, 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 video server to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the conguration
page of the video server as shown belowSelect 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).
