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, devices 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 network 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 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 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.

Audio Support
Enable audio support -
Allow clients to retrieve audio streams from the
AXIS P3301/AXIS P3304
. See also
Audio Settings,
on
page 18 for information on how to configure the audio settings.
Note:
This parameter enables/disables audio globally in the camera, even for configured events and profiles with audio.
Certificates
CA Certificate
The CA certificate is used to validate the identity of the authentication server. Enter the path to the cer-
tificate directly, or locate the file using the Browse button. Then click Upload. To remove a certificate,
click Remove.
Client Certificate
Client private key
The client certificate and private key are used to authenticate 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.
