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 (16 SSIDs per dual band APs), 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 setting 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.

Wireless Security

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast it’s 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 now 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.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.
y 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.
y Shared Key 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
send a challenge to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a denial packet back to the wireless client.
Encryption Click the radio button to disable or enable
encryption.

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 WPA2­Enterprise (EAP) similar to WPA.

Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless connectivity that is easy to use within your home, business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you want, whenever and wherever you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you.
WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and oce environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more eciently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other types of xed infrastructure have proven to be benecial to many users.
Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards, allowing wireless users to use the same applications as those used on a wired network.
People use WLAN technology for many dierent purposes:
y Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within the operating range of their WLAN. Management
decisions based on real-time information can signicantly improve the eciency of a worker.
y Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benet from
WLAN’s ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.
y Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables, a WLAN system can be fast and easy during
installation, especially since it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology provides more versatility by extending the network beyond the home or oce.
y Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-2620 saves
money by providing users with multi-functionality congurable in four dierent modes.
y Scalability - Congurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks, suitable for a small number of users to larger
Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link Access Point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5 meters).
3. 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
4. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on the range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (sh tanks), mirrors, le cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
6. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-2620. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a dierent operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)
Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
y Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
y Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari 4 or higher
y Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a dierent cable or
connect to a dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be on.
y Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal
Firewall, and Windows® rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included with your rewall software for more information on disabling or conguring it.
y Congure your Internet settings:
Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click Internet Options icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults.
Click Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click LAN Settings. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK. Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times. Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
y Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link access point in the address bar. This should
open the login page for your the web management.
y If you still cannot access the conguration, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and
try accessing the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent computer.

Troubleshooting

What can I do if I forgot my password?

If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately, this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the access point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.

How to check your IP address?

After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
1. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
2. At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some rewall software programs
may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify
their wireless network settings.

How do I assign a static IP address?

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:
1. Windows® 2000: Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Connections. Windows XP: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections. Windows Vista®: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
3. Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router. Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure
that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
5. Click OK twice to save your settings.
