Supplicant

A supplicant is a device that connects to the

authentication server to join the network. This camera

serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The

supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after

appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

Using the 802.1X

Authentication Function

— 802.1X Menu

802.1X

When you click

in the Administrator menu, the

Authenticator

802.1X menu appears.

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or

response data that the supplicant or authentication server

issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or

access point serves as an authenticator.

Use this menu to configure the wired or wireless port-

based authentication in compliance with the 802.1X

standard.

The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common,

Client certificate and CA certificate.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting

users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.

It can also be called RADIUS server.

Note

To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need

knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and

WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X

network, you need to configure the authenticator, access

point, authentication server and other elements. For

details on these settings, refer to the manual of the

corresponding equipment.

CA (Certificate Authority)

A CA issues and manages certificates of the

authentication server (CA certificates) and user

certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based

user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an

authentication server.

System configuration of 802.1X

network

The following figure shows a general system

configuration of an 802.1X network.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant

and the server authenticate using the certificate. This

mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

Note

To use the 802.1X authentication function for wireless

networks, set up Security in the Wireless tab of the

Network menu. For details, see “Security” on page 47.

Type the user name to identify the client in the 802.1X

authentication server using 3 to 253 characters.

To import the client certificate

Click Browse… to select the client certificate to be

imported.

Then click Submit, and the selected file will be

imported to the camera.

EAP password

A supplicant EAP password is needed to be inputted

when PEAP is selected with EAP condition. The

password can contain half-width letters and the length

should be between 1 to 50.

Note

The import process becomes invalid if the selected file is

not a client certificate or the imported client certificate is

not allowed.

Reset

To change the once set EAP password, click Reset and

clear the current password. A new password can be

entered.

To display the information of the client

certificate

When the client certificate has been saved in the camera

correctly, its information appears on Status, Issuer DN,

Subject DN, Validity Period and Extended Key

Usage.

Note

After you click Reset, if you wish to cancel the EAP

password change, click Cancel at the bottom of the

screen. This will cancel other changes made to the

settings.

Status: Shows if the status of the client certificate is

valid or invalid.

Valid means the client certificate is correctly stored

and set.

Invalid means the client certificate is not correctly

stored and set.

Possible causes of Invalid are as follows:

– The private key password included in the client

certificate is not specified correctly.

– The private key password is specified in spite of

the fact that the key pair in the client certificate is

not encrypted.

EAP method

You can select the authentication method used with the

authentication server. This device supports TLS and

PEAP.

TLS: By this method, the supplicant and the server

authenticate each other using a certificate. This

enables secure port authentication.

PEAP: By this method, an EAP password is used for the

supplicant authentication and a certificate is used for

server authentication.

– The key pair is not included in the client certificate.

Disappearance

When an object acknowledged by the camera as a

moving object in the reference area disappears, an alarm

is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory

performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Setting the Motion

Detection/VMF Function

— Motion detection Menu

Motion detection

When you click

in the Administrator

Volume

menu, the Motion detection menu appears.

Using this menu, you can set the conditions for

activating the built-in “Motion detection” function.

Motion detection detects moving objects in the camera

image and outputs an alarm. In VMF, an alarm is set off

when a motion detected under the motion detection

setting passes, appears in or disappears from a specified

area or inspection line.

When the volume of moving objects in the reference

area reaches definite number, an alarm is set off. FTP

client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording

and/or audio file playback can be performed in

synchronization with this alarm.

Notes

The motion detection function and the VMF function

can independently set off an alarm at the time of

detection.

• Before actual use, perform an operation test and

confirm that the motion detection function works

correctly.

• Even when privacy masking and/or cropping is used,

the motion detection function operates based on the

images before these functions are activated.

• When cropping is enabled, the motion detection menu

is not displayed. To use the motion detection menu,

disable these functions first.

What are VMF functions

VMF functions are for inspecting whether a moving

object detected under the motion detection settings

passed, appeared in or disappeared from a specified area

or inspection line.

The inspection method is selected from Pass/Presence/

Appear/Disappear/Volume, and also allows for a

maximum combination of three, which can be

simultaneously or sequentially executed. In the VMF

setting, up to three patterns can be kept for each preset

for the current camera position.

When the Motion detection menu is

displayed for the first time

When you click Motion detection, “Security Warning”

is displayed.

When you click Yes, ActiveX control is installed and the

Motion detection menu is displayed.

Pass

Notes

A reference passage line is determined, and when a

moving object passes the setting line, an alarm is set off.

FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm

recording and/or audio file playback can be performed

in synchronization with this alarm.

• If Automatic configuration is enabled in the Local

Area Network (LAN) settings of Internet Explorer, the

image may not be displayed. In that case, disable

Automatic configuration and set the Proxy server

manually. For the setting of the Proxy server, consult

your network administrator.

Presence

• When you install ActiveX control, you should be

logged in to the computer as Administrator.

When the reference object acknowledged by the camera

is present after a certain period of time has elapsed, an

alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm sending, image

memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can

be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

• When you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2 or

later, or Windows Vista, the information bar or

“Security Warning” may appear as you click Motion

detection. For details, see “Installing ActiveX

Control” in “When using Windows XP Service Pack 2

or later” on page 8 or “Installing ActiveX Control” in

“When using Windows Vista” on page 11.

Appearance

When an object that did not exist in the reference area

appears, an alarm will be set off. FTP client alarm

sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio

file playback can be performed in synchronization with

this alarm.
