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 A uthentication Protocol).
To access a network protected by IEEE 802.1X, devices must authenticate themselves. The authentication is performed by a
third-party entity called an authenti cation server, typically a RADIUS server, examples of which are FreeRADIUS and Microsoft
Internet Authentication Service.
In Ax is ' implem entation, the netw ork device and the authentication server authenticate themselves w ith the help of dig ital
certificates using EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Tran sport Layer Security). The certificates are provided by an
Certification Authority (CA). You need:
•aCAcertifica te 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 the
client private k ey.
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.

Client certificate
Client private key
The clie nt certificate and priva te key are used to authen tica te the network device. They ca n be
uploaded as se parate file s or in one combine d file (e.g. a PFX file or a PEM file). U se 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.Toremoveafile, click Remove.

Date & T ime
The Axis product’s date and time settings are config ured under System Options > Date & Time.
Current Server Time displays the c urrent date and time (24h clock). The time can be displayed in 12h clock in the text overlay (see
below).
To change the date and time settings, select the preferred Time mode under N ew Server Time:
• Synchronize with computer time sets date and time according to the computer’s clock. With this op tion, date and
time are set once and w ill not be upd ated automatically.
• Synchronize with NTP Server o btains date and time from an NTP server. With this option, date an d time settings are
updated continuously. For information on NTP settings, see
NTP Configuration, on page 33 .
