Nuclias Connect

Introduction

Nuclias Connect is D-Link’s centralized management solution for Small-to-Medium-Sized Business (SMB) networks. Nuclias Connect makes

it easier to analyze, automate, congure, optimize, scale, and secure your network — delivering the convenience of an Enterprise-wide

management solution, at an SMB price. Nuclias Connect gives you the nancial and technical exibility to expand from a small network to a

larger one of up to 1,000 Access Points (APs), while retaining a robust and centralized management system. With its intuitive Graphical User

Interface (GUI), a wealth of enhanced AP features, and a setup wizard that supports 11 languages, Nuclias Connect minimizes the hassle of

deployment, conguration, and administration tasks.

Deployable on a Windows server (or Linux via Docker), PC, or Smartphone (via lite management app) the Nuclias Connect free-to-download

software is capable of managing up to 1,000 APs without licensing charges, coupled with an inexpensive optional

hardware controller (DNH-100 Nuclias Connect Hub) suitable for remote locations. Through software-based monitoring and remote

management of all wireless Access Points (APs) on your network, Nuclias Connect oers tremendous exibility compared to traditional

hardware-based unied management systems. Conguration can be done remotely. Network trac analytics are available at a glance (in

whole or in part). Load Balancing, Airtime Fairness, and Localized Throttling are enabled.

Nuclias Connect supports multi-tenancy, so network administrators can grant localized management authority for local networks. In

addition, because APs can support 8 SSIDs per radio (Total 24 SSIDs for DAP-2720), administrators have the option of using one SSID to create

a guest network for visitors.

Nuclias Connect provides direct AP discovery and provisioning when it shares the same Layer-2/Layer-3 network with a given AP, allowing

users to nd APs and import proles with minimum eort, which can be applied as needed to groups or individual APs for even more

eective conguration.

Since Nuclias Connect’s software operates transparently on the network, an AP can be deployed anywhere in an NAT environment. Admins

can provide and manage a variety of distributed deployments, including settings and admin account conguration for each deployment.

Nuclias Connect allows for multiple user authentications while enabling specic access control congurations for each SSID, giving admins

the option of conguring separate internal networks for dierent subnets, while enabling more advanced Value-Added Services, such as

Captive Portal or Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Section 3 - Conguration

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast its presence for

anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable. There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption

and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the rst security method developed. It is a low level encryption

but better than no encryption. WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advanced WPA2 standard wireless networks have nally reach a point

where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

Wireless Security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will return

a success message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection

request from the wireless client.

numbers ranging from 0-127.

Section 3 - Conguration

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)

The WPA protocol is based on the 802.11i standard. WPA oers two variations called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP). WPA-EAP

requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication, while WPA-Personal does not. In comparison, WPA-PSK is seen as

a weaker authentication variation than WPA-EAP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today. WPA2 is an

upgrade of WPA and solves security issues found in WPA. WPA2 also oers two variations called WPA2-Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP)

similar to WPA.

the error rate in some installations due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency installations.

Select Enable or Disable. Internet Group Management Protocol allows the AP to recognize IGMP queries and reports sent between

routers and an IGMP host (wireless STA). When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will forward multicast packets to an IGMP host

based on IGMP messages passing through the AP.

Select the multicast rate to adjust multicast packet data rates.

Adjust the multicast packet data rate here. The multicast rate is supported in AP mode, (2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ) and WDS

Set the multicast packets’ maximum bandwidth pass through rate from the Ethernet interface to the Access Point.

Enable this option to reduce interference from other wireless networks in your area. If the channel width is operating at 40 MHz
