AXIS M3014 - System Options
IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is a standard for port-based Network Admission Control providing secure authentication of wired and wireless
network devices. IEEE 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devic
es must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authentication server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service.
In Axis implementation, the networ
k device and the authentication server authenticate themselves with the help of digital
certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an
Certification 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 t
he network device.
To allow the network device to access a netw
ork 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
the client 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.

Date & Time
Current Server Time - Displays the current date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock format in the
overlay (see below).
New Server Time - Select your time zone from the drop-down list. If you want the server clock to automatically adjust for
daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes option.
From the Time Mo
de section, select the preferred method to use for setting the time:
• Synch
ronize with computer time - sets the time from the clock on your computer.
• Synchronize with NTP Server - the camera will obtain the time from an NTP server every 60 minutes.
• Set manually - this option allows you to manually set the time and date.
Note:
If using a host name for the NTP server, a DNS server must be configured under TCP/IP settings.
See Network > Basic TCP/IP Settings below.
Certificates
CA Certificate The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of th
e authentication server. Enter the path to the cer-
tificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse butt
on. Then click Upload. To remove a certificate,
click Remove.
Client Certificate
Client private key
The client certificate and private key are used to auth
enticate the network device. They can be uploaded
as separate files or in one combined file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). Use the Client Private Key field if
uploading one combined file. For each file, enter the path to the file, or locate the file using the Browse
button. Then click Upload. To remove a file, click Remove.
Settings
EAPOL 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.
