Wireless Networking
Wireless technology allows the TANDBERG FieldView Device to be used in places where accessibility would otherwise be difficult. The TANDBERG
FieldView Device has been optimized for reliable, high quality streaming media within a wireless environment. This allows the TANDBERG FieldView Device to remain connected in a streaming session while roaming between access points over a wide coverage area.
Wireless connectivity on the TANDBERG FieldView Device is provided by an
IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) interface. The WLAN interface is capable of up to 54 Mbps throughput when operated on an 802.11g network and 11 Mbps when operated on an 802.11b network.
Notes:
• This section assumes that the reader is familiar with wireless networking fundamentals.
• This section provides general information about 802.11 wireless networks as used with the FieldView. For specific information (installation, configuration, etc.) consult your vendor’s documentation.
• Wireless configuration and optimization for the workstation (e.g. a laptop computer) that is used to host the TANDBERG FieldView Application is beyond the scope of this document. Consult the appropriate documentation and support channels for the workstation.
• This discussion relates to the operation of the TANDBERG FieldView Device in a wireless mode. Similar considerations exist for operation of a wireless workstation that acts as host for the TANDBERG FieldView Application.
Many of the topics covered in this section are relevant for the workstation as well as the TANDBERG FieldView Device; however the performance and characteristics of wireless networking equipment vary widely. For best results, the workstation should be connected to a wired network connection whenever practical.
• Although using a wired network connection with the workstation is strongly recommended, some wireless workstations will function adequately as long as sufficient signal quality is available and roaming of the workstation is not required.
Overview
It is beyond the scope of this document to completely cover all aspects of wireless networking. However, the following sections provide an overview of some of the key concepts that relate to the use of voice and video over a wireless network including the following topics:
• Radio Frequency (RF) channel selection
• Interference
• Coverage
• Roaming
• Site survey
Perspective—Is all this really necessary?
The guidelines in the following sections assure the best possible performance and quality. However, not every organization will have the means or desire to ensure that all of the recommended steps are taken. In many cases, a less rigorous approach may allow acceptable performance as long as the limitations are understood.
A simple setup (such as connecting to existing infrastructure as-is) will
D14098.02 June 2008 11
Chapter 3 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide often work acceptably if 100% coverage in not mandatory, roaming is not required, and the wireless network is lightly used. Since good signal quality is a requirement for good performance, ensuring close proximity to the access point may overcome limitations caused by violations of the guidelines in this document. As the demand for quality, coverage and availability increase, the measures discussed in the following sections should be considered.
If the quality is unacceptable, consider using wired connectivity or making improvements to the wireless infrastructure.
The Importance of Proper Infrastructure
When implementing a wireless network for voice and video, it is important to understand the capabilities and limitations that are present in this technology.
The demands of video can be supported; however the infrastructure must be carefully planned and implemented to achieve the desired performance.
Wireless networks are widely used today, and although they may provide acceptable performance to users running business transactions or surfing the web, they may not be adequate for streaming real time media. Voice and video represent a continuous data stream and can exhibit noticeable visual or audible artifacts with losses or delays in data delivery. Guaranteeing low loss and delay is difficult given that the basis of WLAN is radio, a medium inherently susceptible to effects such as dropout, fade, and interference. But wireless technology has evolved to make it robust and able to support reliable communications at rates of up to 54 Mbps, with even faster rates under development.
To realize the full promise of this technology it must be used within the limits it was designed for, especially if the payload is voice and video. By following guidelines aimed at improving and optimizing the radio environment, you can maximize range and performance, and achieve the best possible use of the wireless infrastructure.
Special Needs for Voice and Video
Real-time media such as video and particularly voice place more stringent requirements on the network than conventional data transactions such as copying files, web browsing, downloading files, etc. In the case of a wireless network, this is particularly important because improper configuration can lead to unacceptable performance.
Data protocols are typically fault tolerant. Lost data packets can be recovered by higher level protocols such as TCP/IP that ensure that every packet is accounted for. Missing packets are resent. Time is not overly critical and so recovering missing data can occur in the background without the user noticing.
For example, time to download a file may take a few seconds longer than it would in a case where the network is not suffering from packet loss.
Conversely, voice and video require real-time delivery. For a real-time media stream, a late packet is the same as a lost packet. Retry can be used to recover from lost packets but if the time to do so exceeds tens of milliseconds then the latency in the voice and video becomes unacceptable to the user.
This is especially significant on wireless networks because, unlike most wired networks where a lost packet is an unusual event, lost packets are expected. (Studies show that packet error rates of 5 to 15% are common.)
Minimizing error rate is crucial in order to achieve the best possible streaming performance.
Fig. 3-1 802.11 b/g Channel Separation
(North America).
D14098.02 June 2008 12
Chapter 3 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
Radio Frequency Channel Selection
The 802.11b/g wireless interface operates in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum. Up to 14 channels are allocated within this spectrum. The number of channels varies with the region (e.g. 11 channels in North America, 13 channels in most of Europe, etc.)
Unfortunately, not all of the channels can be used at a single geographic location because, while each channel consumes over 22 MHz of bandwidth, the channels are only separated by 5 MHz. This channel overlap is illustrated in Fig.
3-1.
Overlapping channels cause interference resulting in degradation of quality and throughput. As shown in the diagram, channels must be separated by a minimum of five channels to ensure interference does not occur. This limits the maximum number of channels that can be used in close proximity to three.
In North America, the only option for more than two non-overlapping channels is to choose channels 1, 6, and 11. In other regions of the world, the additional available channels allow other choices but the three channel limit still exists.
Notes :
• Further complicating channel selection is the possibility that a neighboring site may use one or more channels that conflict with the channels in use at a given location.
• Existing infrastructure at some sites violate channel overlap rules without realizing it. The network may appear to work fine with data but won’t be sufficient for real-time media. Network monitoring may show:
•
•
Degraded signal quality resulting in lower transmission rates.
Packet errors resulting in frequent 802.11 retries.
• Data operations tend to occur in bursts which lower the likelihood for collisions when compared to voice and video which require a continuous and regular packet stream.
• Robust high level protocols such as TCP/IP mask overlap problems because lost packets are automatically recovered. Although performance degradation occurs, it may not be readily apparent for file transfers, downloads, etc. because the operations will eventually succeed.
Interference
As discussed above, interference from adjacent channels can cause problems with wireless performance. Unfortunately, there are other sources of interference within the unlicensed 2.4 GHz RF band utilized for 802.11b/g
WLAN operation. Interference sources include:
• Microwave ovens
• 2.4 GHz cordless phones
• Bluetooth devices
• 802.11 Frequency Hopping devices
• Other 802.11b/g equipment (APs, client devices) on overlapping or improperly separated channels
• A variety of other 2.4 GHz equipment
Where possible, interference sources should be minimized. If that is not possible, other strategies such as channel remapping or relocation may be considered. A site survey (as discussed in

Chapter 3 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
Wireless Coverage
Range achievable over the 802.11b/g WLAN interface can vary from hundreds of meters under near ideal conditions down to much shorter distances under challenging conditions. Coverage area can vary dramatically depending on a variety of factors, including:
• Topography
• Walls, dividers, windows, ceilings, floors, etc.
• Radio-reflective materials (may cause attenuation and/or multi-path reflections)
• Interference and noise
• Access point and antenna mounting location
• Antenna type and orientation
• TANDBERG FieldView Device orientation
• Network traffic
• Number of connected devices
Fig. 3-2 Wireless Coverage Map (Aerial
View).
Effect of Topography on Coverage
Fig. 3-2 shows an aerial view of a simple floor plan with a single access point
(denoted as AP). The dark blue shaded area indicates the coverage pattern that the access point provides for this site. The building’s walls and dividers act as attenuators for the signal, shaping the coverage pattern as shown.
Signal to Noise Ratio
Achievable range is directly related to the quality of the signal received by the TANDBERG FieldView Device. The quality is a factor of the radio signal strength, which is affected by attenuators such as the topographic features listed above and the air itself, and the interference and noise level.
As the noise level approaches the level of the desired received signal, the quality will suffer. To increase usable range, noise must be kept to a minimum and signal strength must be used to overcome the remaining noise level (there is always some level of background noise). The usual measure of signal quality is Signal-to–Noise Ratio (SNR) which is illustrated in Fig. 3-3 with a simplified signal.
The TANDBERG FieldView Device provides received signal strength and
SNR information that can be used to assist with range determination and troubleshoot problems. A more rigorous method of ensuring proper coverage across a facility is done using a site survey, as discussed in the section
.
Fig. 3-3 Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR).
Other Factors Affecting Coverage
Range further depends on the configuration of the video and audio settings. In general, higher bit rate settings will lower the range achieved before noticeable artifacts occur.
In practice, range will vary widely with the factors discussed. The TANDBERG
FieldView Device has been tested and found to work satisfactorily at a distance of over 200 meters with a 1 Mbps video stream under near-ideal conditions
(outdoors, line of sight, no obstructions, access point mounted at 8 feet, no nearby 2.4 GHz interference sources). At the other extreme, combinations of interference and topographic factors can limit range to a fraction of the ideal.
Coverage problems can usually be resolved by assuring proper access point placement and/or adding additional access points.
Fig. 3-4 Wireless Cell Layout.
D14098.02 June 2008 14
Chapter 3
Wireless Coverage of Large Areas
Coverage of large areas requires multiple access points to ensure that all areas receive an adequate signal. Taking into account the channel selection process outlined earlier, the access points should be mapped to not interfere with each other. An illustration of an ideal case of this is shown in Fig. 3-4.
Each cell represents the idealized coverage area of an individual access point.
Signal strength is highest near the center of the cell and fades near the edges.
As mentioned, obstructions and other factors will cause the actual shape of the cells to vary widely. The key to proper cell layout is to ensure that adjacent cells use channels that don’t interfere and that enough cell separation is maintained between cells on the same channels so that interference is minimized.
Cell radius is measured in signal strength or signal quality rather than distance.
For high quality audio and video streaming, a cell radius of –67 dBm to
–70 dBm is recommended. Same channel cell separation should be 18 to 20 dB.
Ensuring these guidelines are met will allow the TANDBERG FieldView Device to maintain an audio/video connection while roaming from cell to cell within a facility.
Notes:
• Keep in mind that cells may be organized in three dimensional space due to access points on floors above or below.
• Consider that access points may be in use in adjacent facilities.
• A site survey (as discussed in the section ensure optimal cell mapping.
) is necessary to
Capacity
Capacity (number of simultaneous calls) depends on many factors, including infrastructure type, other traffic, stream settings, error rate, etc. Consult your infrastructure partner for assistance in determining available capacity.
Improving Performance
In addition to the guidelines covered elsewhere, the following items may improve overall performance and capacity:
• A mixed 802.11b/g network requires that a portion of every packet will be sent at a slow rate to maintain compatibility with older 802.11b devices.
By switching the network to 802.11g only, overall bandwidth utilization will become more efficient but at the cost of not allowing 802.11b devices to share the network.
• Many enterprise quality access points provide quality of service features that give priority to real time packets such as voice and video. These features should be enabled when available.
• Consider using directional access point antennas for focused coverage of long narrow areas.
• Performance for simultaneous use of many wireless devices in a small area can be optimized by reducing the cell size. This is usually done by increasing the number of access points in an area while reducing the output power of each to minimize overlap.
• Configure radio equipment to use short preambles since most equipment supports its use. Unless very old legacy equipment must be supported, short preambles can be used to improve bandwidth efficiency.
• Roaming performance can be improved on the TANDBERG FieldView Device
D14098.02 June 2008 15
TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
Chapter 3 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide by enabling only the RF channels that are in use at the site in the RF channels configuration screen. The TANDBERG FieldView Device determines which access points are available for roaming by sampling each channel.
This process takes time and requires the TANDBERG FieldView Device to stop sending and receiving the media stream. The time lost during this process can be reduced by scanning only the channels in use at the site.
See the section Network>Radio for information on how to configure this feature.
Site Survey
Regardless of whether the wireless network at the site is new or existing, the best assurance that it will be suitable for high-quality voice and video streaming is to perform a site survey. This involves evaluating the coverage area of factors such as:
• Examining existing WLAN usage
• Signal quality
• Interference and noise
• Channel assignment
• Device location
• Site topography
The goal is to ensure mobile operation without significant loss of quality over the desired coverage area mainly by providing:
• Adequate bandwidth
• Data transmission reliability
• Low latency/delay time
It is best to use an experienced WLAN site survey contractor for complex installations. This is usually available as a service from enterprise WLAN infrastructure suppliers.
Wireless Security
Wireless networks should be operated with appropriate security measures.
Consult your site administrator for requirements and necessary access key.

Firewalls and Network Address Translation
Firewalls and Network Address Translation (NAT) can conflict with successful operation of the FieldView. While in some cases it may be possible to open the firewall or NAT to directly allow FieldView traffic, this may be cumbersome and is not recommended due to the security risks.
Instead, use a secure SIP firewall traversal system. Consult TANDBERG for assistance and recommendations with firewall and Network Address Translation

Note: When viewing the SD card on a PC the \Storage Card prefix will be replaced by the drive letter associated with the SD card. e.g. F:\Certificates.
File types allowed for import are:
• Certificates (.cer) are individual X.509 certificate objects. They contain a public key, but not a private key. A password is not required to import or export these files.
• PKCS #12 (.pfx, .p12) (Personal Information Exchange #12) files may contain multiple certificates and private keys. The file is protected by a password set when the file is created. The password is required for import.
• Private Keys (.pvk) are single passphrase protected Windows private key files. When creating or exporting these files, users will be prompted for a passphrase. The exact passphrase is needed to import the file.
Stores list
Certificates can be imported to the following three logical stores:
• My Certificates contains individual certificates for users, machine, or service. For example, My Certificates could contain a user certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA) for authentication on an EAP-TLS configured network.
• Trusted Authorities contains the certificate from trusted root authorities.
All certificates in this store should have the same subject and issuer (selfsigned).
intermediate CA certificates.
Note: Since PKCS #12 files may contain several certificate and private key files, the decision on where to import them is made automatically by the software. For this reason, it doesn’t matter which certificate store is currently selected.

Recommendations and Tips
• Charge the TANDBERG FieldView Device battery using the external
AC adapter before using the TANDBERG FieldView Device. The orange
Charging LED will turn off when the battery is fully charged.
• Do not go outside the coverage area of the wireless AP. This will cause deterioration of image quality and eventually the loss of the connection.
• Try to keep in the line-of-sight between the TANDBERG FieldView Device and the nearest AP. If possible, face the AP for better signal strength.
• Use the wrist strap to avoid dropping the TANDBERG FieldView Device.
• The 2-way audio may be a distraction in some cases. Use the Mute and
Volume buttons on the TANDBERG FieldView Device to turn off the audio.
• Using the microphone and speaker on a PC may result in echo at the
TANDBERG FieldView Device when the TANDBERG FieldView Device operator speaks and the PC microphone relays the sound back to the
TANDBERG FieldView Device. It is dependent on the echo canceling ability of the PC software and hardware and the location of the PC speaker and microphone. Echo can be eliminated by using a headset or speakerphone peripheral on the PC.
• Hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn off the TANDBERG FieldView
Device. The green Power and Network LEDs will turn off.
• If the TANDBERG FieldView Device is on but not used by the operator for a period of time (2 minutes by default), it will lower its power consumption by turning off the viewfinder and other components, and go into Standby mode. In Standby, the green Power and Network LED(s) will remain on and incoming calls can still be received. Press and release the power button briefly to wake the TANDBERG FieldView Device. The standby time can be changed under the Configuration > General page.
• The illumination LED is intended for subjects at a distance of 3 feet or more. It may be too bright for subjects at a closer distance and may cause glare on the image.
• Use a tripod to stabilize the image, particularly when using zoom. A shaky video image is exaggerated during video compression.
• Sometimes, when streaming video, it is necessary to move the TANDBERG
FieldView Device to a new location. As the TANDBERG FieldView Device is being carried to the new location, the image seen at the TANDBERG
FieldView Application will be rapidly changing causing a ‘seasick’ view.
To avoid this effect, stop the video stream or use the gray Still Image
Capture button to temporarily freeze the view while you are moving the
TANDBERG FieldView Device.
• For close-up viewing (e.g. full screen view of a small object), set the zoom to 1× to ensure optimum focus at short distance and hold the TANDBERG
FieldView Device squarely above the object. Room lighting intensity and angle will be a factor in the image quality.
• To increase the size of the video area of the Call Window at the TANDBERG
FieldView Application, grab the vertical separator between the Call Controls area and the Video Viewing area and slide it to the left until the Call
Controls area is reduced to a narrow strip.

Chapter 6 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
About Media Configuration
When a call is started, the setting specified in the TANDBERG FieldView
Application under Preferences > CallWindow > Video > Configuration determines the initial media configuration used for the call (see section Call
Window). If the configuration is set to Use Current FD Settings, then the
Stream Setup on the TANDBERG FieldView Device is used.
After the call is established, users can select an alternate media configuration from either end without ending the call. The video and subject audio streams will be briefly stopped and then restarted at the new rates and settings. At the
TANDBERG FieldView Application this selection is done using the Audio/Video
Setting call control. At the TANDBERG FieldView Device it is done using the
Stream Setup options (see Fig. 6-2).
If a recording is played back in a call, it will use the media configuration parameters of the recording. Note that the frames per second reported by the
TANDBERG FieldView Application when playing back is based upon the average frame rate for the entire recording, taking into account frames missed due to packet loss. This generally results in a lower reported frame rate than the rate used in the original recording.
Note that when the Still Image Capture button on the TANDBERG FieldView
Device is pressed, the video stream is not stopped even though the image appears frozen. Stopping the video stream is controlled by the green
Streaming on/off button. Also note that when image sharing, the video stream can be configured to continue, pause or stop depending on user preference and the need to control bandwidth usage.
Understanding the Media Configuration
Parameters
When operating under conditions such as limited available bandwidth or in the presence of packet loss, achieving the best video image requires adjusting the media parameters to achieve the best possible image. This section describes the media configuration parameters and how they can be used to achieve the best video.
Device Type
Media configurations are defined separately for NTSC and PAL TANDBERG
FieldView Devices since the specific configuration choices offered vary depending on the differences between NTSC/PAL standards. Incompatible media configurations are hidden from the user.
Note that the built-in High/Medium/Low media configurations auto adjust for
NTSC/PAL differences according to table 6-1.
Bit Rate
When streaming video, the TANDBERG FieldView Device continuously encodes the images into a MPEG-4 bit stream which, on average, is at the Target Bit
Rate and is limited to the Peak Bit Rate. The bit rates you should specify are generally governed by the amount of bandwidth available over the network path between the TANDBERG FieldView Device and TANDBERG FieldView
Application. Since a path is generally made of several segments, it is the
D14098.02 June 2008 40
Chapter 6 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide segment with the least bandwidth which will limit the overall bandwidth.
You should also consider what fraction of the available bandwidth you wish to use so as to leave a margin for other users and other traffic.
Table 6-2 shows the bandwidth required if FieldView is configured to operate at its maximum limits. If the network has insufficient bandwidth to support the streams, defects will be evident in the image and audio, and it will be necessary to drop to a lower stream rate.

Note: if low bandwidth audio is negotiated the voice and subject audio are reduced to 13 kbps from 64 kbps.
Video Size
The TANDBERG FieldView Device is designed to transmit a range of image sizes from 320×240 (76,800 pixels) to 720×480 (345,600 pixels) for the NTSC model and to 720×576 (414,720 pixels) for the PAL model.
Some video sizes may result in cropping of the video that is streamed or recorded as compared to that shown on the viewfinder. Use the Show Actual
Video Boundary feature at the TANDBERG FieldView Device to view the cropped area on the TANDBERG FieldView Device.
Frame Rate
Higher frame rates provide better motion capture, although this will generally require a higher bit rate to maintain image quality. The available frame rates are based on camera type:
NTSC: 3 5 10 15 30
PAL: 3.1 5 8.3 12.5 25
MPEG-4 Frame Types
MPEG-4 works by processing the successive pictures of a video into compressed frames. There are two types of frames which may be produced:
• I-Frames are independent of any other frame and may be decompressed to
D14098.02 June 2008 41
Chapter 6 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide show a single complete picture from the video.
• P-Frames contain only the differences between the current and the previous picture in the video and therefore rely on the previous picture for proper decoding.
Since I-Frames encode a whole picture they are usually larger than P-Frames.
MPEG-4 Visual and Temporal Artifacts
Smooth video is the result of presenting successive pictures at regular time intervals. If one or more pictures are dropped from the sequence of presentation, it will be noticeable as a short pause. This is called a temporal artifact. A temporal artifact may also be followed by a secondary effect if the dropped picture was the reference frame for a P-Frame. In this case, the
P-Frame will not decode properly and will result in a visual artifact. Visual artifacts appear as blocks of scrambled colors, sometimes referred to as macro blocking. To avoid this effect the TANDBERG FieldView Device detects dropped frames and compensates by inserting the last successful frame.
MPEG-4 Group Of Picture
A group of pictures (GOP) consists of an I-Frame as an initial reference frame followed by zero or more P-Frames. A GOP size of 1 (all I-Frames and no
P-Frames) is valid but may result in poor image quality since the compression engine must still meet the target bit rate setting and to do so the quality of the individual frames must be reduced. If a frame is dropped when the GOP size is
1, a temporal artifact will be noticed but no visual artifacts will result because there are not any inter-frame dependencies.
Increasing the GOP size results in better image quality because the P-Frames are smaller than I-Frames and so the excess bit rate capacity may be used to encode a higher quality I-Frame as a reference. The trade off is that a dropped frame will result in not only a temporal artifact, but also a visual artifact
(unless the frame that is dropped was the last frame in the GOP). For example, if the GOP size is 10 and an I-Frame is dropped, it will result in a temporal artifact due to the dropped I-Frame. In addition, the nine P-Frames following will not decode properly resulting in nine frames of visual artifacts. The visual artifacts will continue until the next I-Frame is encountered.
Guidelines for Using Media Configurations
Once you’ve chosen a target and peak bit rate, you can adjust the quality of the video stream using the following guidelines. Remember that the target and peak should not exceed the available bandwidth of the current network path.
For a better quality image:
• Reduce the fps.
• Increase the GOP.
• Reduce the image size.
For better motion capture increase the fps, reducing image size if necessary to maintain the desired visual quality.
If there is packet loss (e.g. due to interference, channel contention, varying
BW) and you see macro blocking or pauses:
• Decrease the GOP.
• Use I-only (GOP=1) but keep in mind that if I-frames are lost, the motion will be choppy.
Note: In very high packet-loss environments it may be necessary to record
D14098.02 June 2008 42
Chapter 6 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide to SD storage card and then stream the recording later when a more reliable network path is available (deferred collaboration).
To reduce TANDBERG FieldView Device processing load:
• Reduce the fps.
• Increase the GOP.
Exporting Media Configuration Parameters
Media configuration definitions are saved in an XML file. After creating custom media configurations you can export them to other TANDBERG FieldView
Application PCs by copying this file. You can distribute and manage media configurations for a site using FieldView Management Suite (FMS). Refer to
FMS documentation for further information.
To manually copy media configurations:
1. Use the TANDBERG FieldView Application to create the desired set of custom media configurations for your FieldView network.
2. Quit the TANDBERG FieldView Application. Check that the TANDBERG
FieldView Application icon is not in the Task Bar or in the Windows notification area.
3. Locate the file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FA\
CustomProfiles.xml. Note that the Application Data folder may be hidden on your PC.
4. On the PCs to which you want to copy media configurations, quit the
TANDBERG FieldView Application. Check that the TANDBERG FieldView
Application icon is not in the Task Bar or in the Windows notification area.

7. User and Contact Management and Distribution
The FieldView uses a list of Users to control access to the TANDBERG
FieldView Device and TANDBERG FieldView Application, and a list of Contacts to allow calls to be easily initiated. A system administrator can create these lists and then distribute them to the TANDBERG FieldView Devices and
TANDBERG FieldView Applications which will be collaborating.
You can distribute and manage user and contacts for a site using FieldView
Management Suite (FMS). Refer to FMS documentation for further information.
To manually copy User and Contact lists use the information below.
Users and Contacts Overview
The Local Users and Local Contacts lists are managed in an XML file named LocalRegistrationService.xml. Users listed in the Local Users list are authorized to log in and make or receive calls.
On the TANDBERG FieldView Application, users are listed under the Local Users tab and contacts are listed under the Local Contacts tab. New users and new contacts can be added in these tabs using the Edit > New function.
At the TANDBERG FieldView Device, the User list is displayed in the User
Authentication window (in the Username dropdown list) when logging in. The
Contacts list is shown when choosing an TANDBERG FieldView Application to call.
The system administrator builds the initial master list of users and contacts at the TANDBERG FieldView Application and copies the master list to all
TANDBERG FieldView Applications and TANDBERG FieldView Devices.
Note that if access control is not required, creating and using a Local Users list is not necessary. In this case all users will login as ‘admin’ or as a single shared user created for this purpose.

Chapter 9 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
EAP: When authenticating, the status label below the SSID list stays at Authenticating… or states
Authentication Failed.
Cause
There may have been a problem with the certificate import process.
Solution
Go into the network properties for the TLS secured network and, in the IEEE 802.1x Authentication area, select Properties.
Open the User Certificates applet and ensure that all necessary certificates are listed in their correct store. At a minimum for
EAP-TLS, there should be a root certificate in the Trusted Store and a Personal certificate in the My Certificates store. Also, the personal certificate should have a private key present.
EAP: The root certificate is imported to an incorrect store.
Cause
The decision on where to place certificates upon import from a PKCS 12 file is made automatically by the software which attempts to mimic
Windows XP as close as possible. If they are placed in undesired stores, you may have to import the certificates/private keys separately.
Solution
To export certificates individually from a Windows XP certificate store.
1. Click Start > Run.
2. Type ‘mmc’ to open the windows console.
3. Click File > Add/Remove Snap-in… Click Add in the window.
4. From the Add Standalone Snap-in window, select
Certificates and click Add.
5. Select User from the list.
6. Select Finish, Close, OK.
7. Expand the Certificates – Current User node to show the certificate stores associated with this user.
8. Select the store where the desired certificate resides
(probably Trusted Root Certificate Authorities).
9. From the certificate list on the right, select the desired certificate. Right-click All Tasks > Export. This opens the certificate export wizard.
10. If exporting a certificate with only a public key, select DER encoded binary (.cer) for a file type. A password is not required.
11. Enter a file location and name and finish the wizard.

Chapter 9 TANDBERG FieldView Administrator Guide
EAP: The client certificate is imported to an incorrect store.
Cause
The decision on where to place certificates upon import from a PKCS 12 file is made automatically by the software which attempts to mimic
Windows XP as close as possible. If they are placed in undesired stores, you may have to import the certificates/private keys separately.
Solution
Follow the instructions in the previous troubleshooting topic to export the personal certificate. In this situation, the certificate will likely be in the Certificates > Current User > Personal store in Windows XP.
When navigating through the export wizard:
1. Select Include the private key for export and select
PKCS#12 (.pfx) for the file type.
2. Uncheck the boxes for Enable Strong Protection and
Include all certificates in the certification path if
possible.
3. Enter a password from 0-32 characters (case sensitive). We recommend that you use a password greater than 0 length since some software may treat the empty string differently.
4. Enter a file location/name and complete the wizard.
To split the file into a certificate (.cer) and private key
(.pvk) using EldoS Crypto4 PKI freeware:
1. Browse to the exported PKCS file.
2. Right-click and select Convert. This launches the Crypto4 PKI converter utility.
3. Enter the password and click Next. This utility does not accept 0 length passwords. Click Next.
4. Enter the file name and path that you wish to export both the certificate file and the private key as. Ensure that the file extensions are .cer and .pvk respectively.
5. Enter the password and select Export Private Key.
6. Select Next to finish the export.
7. Load the .cer and .pvk file into the SD card root and import them into the desired store on the MCD.
