2 Product Introduction
D-Link Nuclias is a cloud-hosted platform that removes the cost and complexity involved with
owning and maintaining your own wireless infrastructure.
D-Link Nuclias Portal platform is accessed via web browser, but can also be managed through
the iPad app. The Nuclias Portal is divided into organizations, allowing devices to be grouped
in Site Tags and Sites based on their physical location. Profiles are used to configure devices
as a group. Users may also be given access to the Nuclias Portal based on their roles and
privileges, allowing access only to parts of the platform that are required.
The Nuclias Portal simplifies the management of your wireless and wired network, reducing the
need for dedicated support staff, and allowing large numbers of devices to be managed from a
single interface. Devices can be pre-registered, allowing them to be installed on site without
requiring dedicated IT personnel. This reduces installation costs and simplifies network
management, making the Nuclias Cloud an ideal solution for both wired and wireless network.
2.1 Terms and Concepts
The following section provides a brief introduction and description of the terms and concepts
used in this product.
Service Provider (SP): A Service Provider is an instance that sells the D-Link Nuclias service
to customers and is responsible for providing user accounts (through invitation), and provision
devices and licenses to subscribed organizations. A Service Provider can also assist in
configuring an organization on request. Structurally, an SP operates at the highest level, one
level higher than an MSP.
Managed Service Provider (MSP): A Managed Service Provider (MSP) or Systems Integrator
(SI) is an instance that sells the Nuclias service to client organizations. A Managed Service
Provider can provision multiple organizations and can manage all organizations under it. A MSP
cannot manage another MSP or its affiliated organizations. Structurally, an MSP operates one
level higher than an organization.
Organization (Org.): An organization is a business entity that subscribes to the D-Link Nuclias
Cloud through a SP or MSP to provide wireless access to its branches. An organization may
manage itself or can request the Service Provider or MSP to manage the organization. An
organization cannot manage other organizations on the same level. Within the Nuclias structure,
3
organizations are considered clients. Examples of organizations include, branch offices,
restaurants, medium-sized offices.
Site Tag: A Site Tag is a label for structurally organizing and visualizing an organization. Site
Tags act as branches, with each Site Tag being able to carry one or more Sites. For example,
an organization with activities in multiple geographical areas can use Site Tags to easily identify
and manage regional branches.
Site: A Site is a label representing a physical location. Sites are used to group devices together
for easier management. Sites can also be associated with a Site Tag, in which case the Site
will branch of from the Site Tag. Examples of Sites include cities, branch offices, and work floors,
depending on the size and scope of the organization.
Profile: Profiles are a set of general configuration settings that can be applied to all devices
associated with the Profile so all devices are configured identically as a group. Profiles can be
set up to cater to specific purposes and can be applied across different Sites and Site Tags.
Examples of Profiles include customer Wi-Fi with limited access, a secure office network, and
public Wi-Fi with captive portal login.
Privileges: Privileges determines to what extent the user can actively manage, ranging from
full access to viewing only. Some elements of the Portal interface may be locked depending on
the selected privilege. Refer to the overview below for a list of all available privileges.
Admin
An administrator has full access to all elements of the Portal
interface and has full management capabilities.
Editor An editor shares similar rights as an administrator, but cannot add
or delete devices, users, or organizations.
Monitor A monitor is limited to read-
only access to configurations and
analysis, and cannot configu
re or edit devices, users, or
organizations.
Viewer A viewer is restricted to read-
only access to analysis only and
cannot configure or edit devices, users, or organizations. This is
primarily for on-
site managers who only require organization
statistics.
