Configuration based network access control. The network devices, intermediary switch/access point/hub, and RADIUS server must support and enable 802.1x setting. 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. If all certificates between client and server are verified, a point-topoint connection will be enabled. If authentication fails, access on that port will be prohibited. 802.1x utilizes an existing protocol, the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), to facilitate communication. Please follow the steps below to enable 802.1x setting: 1. Before connecting the camera to the protected network with 802.1x, please apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your company) which can be validated by a RADIUS server. 2. Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open the configuration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAPTLS as the EAP method. In the following blanks, enter your ID and password issued by the CA, then upload related certificate(s). 3. When all setting are complete, move the camera to the protected LAN by connecting it to an 802.1x enabled switch. The devices will then start the authentication automatically. QoS (Quality of Service) 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 realtime streaming multimedia applications. Quality can be defined as, for instance, a maintained level of bit rate, low latency, no packet dropping, etc. The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network: The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the data flow. The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus D-Link DCS-3511 User Manual 50

apply a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (ie. MIS of your company)
which can be validated by a RADIUS server.

Connect the camera to a PC or notebook outside of the protected LAN. Open
the configuration page of the camera as shown below. Select EAP-PEAP or EAP-

QoS (Quality of Service)
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.
The following are the main benefits of a QoS-aware network:
The ability to prioritize traffic and guarantee a certain level of performance to the
data flow.
The ability to control the amount of bandwidth each application may use, and thus
