VIVOTEK Network > QoS (Quality of Service) Advanced Mode Quality of Service refers to a resource reservation control mechanism, which guarantees a certain quality to different services on the network. Quality of service guarantees are important if the network capacity is insufficient, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc.
PAGE 75
VIVOTEK QoS/DSCP (the DiffServ model) DSCP-ECN defines QoS at Layer 3 (Network Layer). The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model is based on packet marking and router queuing disciplines. The marking is done by adding a field to the IP header, called the DSCP (Differentiated Services Codepoint). This is a 6-bit field that provides 64 different class IDs. It gives an indication of how a given packet is to be forwarded, known as the Per Hop Behavior (PHB).

VIVOTEK Security > Access List Advanced Mode This section explains how to control access permission by verifying the client PCs’ IP addresses. General Settings Maximum number of concurrent streaming connection(s) limited to: Simultaneous live viewing for 1~10 clients (including stream 1 to stream 4). The default value is 10. If you modify the value and click Save, all current connections will be disconnected and automatically attempt to re-link (IE Explorer or Quick Time Player).
PAGE 86
VIVOTEK ■ Refresh: Click this button to refresh all current connections. ■ Add to deny list: You can select entries from the Connection Status list and add them to the Deny List to deny access.

If you want to enable the denied list, please check Enable access list filtering and click Save in the first column.
PAGE 87
VIVOTEK There are three types of rules: Single: This rule allows the user to add an IP address to the Allowed/Denied list. For example: 192.168.2.1 Network: This rule allows the user to assign a network address and corresponding subnet mask to the Allow/Deny List. The address and network mask are written in CIDR format. For example: IP address range 192.168.2.x will be bolcked. If IPv6 filter is preferred, you will be prompted by the following window.

VIVOTEK Security > IEEE 802.1X Advanced Mode Enable this function if your network environment uses IEEE 802.1x, 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).
PAGE 89
VIVOTEK 3. When all settings are complete, move the Network Camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically. NOTE: ► The authentication process for 802.1x: 1. The Certificate Authority (CA) provides the required signed certificates to the Network Camera (the supplicant) and the RADIUS Server (the authentication server). 2. A Network Camera requests access to the protected LAN using 802.
