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, congure, 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 (up to 1,000 APs),
while retaining a robust and centralized management system. And 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, conguration, and administration.
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 Access Points (APs) without licensing charges, coupled with an inexpensive optional
hardware controller (the Hub) suitable for remote locations. Through software-based monitoring and remote management of all wireless Access
Points (APs) on your network, Nuclias Connect oers tremendous exibility compared to traditional hardware-based unied
management systems. Conguration can be done remotely. Network trac 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 admins 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 proles with minimum eort, which can be applied as needed to groups or individual APs for even more eective conguration.
Since Nuclias Connect’s software operates transparently on the network, an AP can be deployed anywhere in an NAT environment. Admins can
provide & manage a variety of distributed deployments, including setting & admin account conguration for each deployment.
Nuclias Connect allows for multiple user authentications while enabling specic access control congurations for each SSID, giving admins the
option of conguring separate internal networks for dierent subnets, while enabling more advanced Value-Added Services, such as Captive Portal
or Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Wireless Security
There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption, 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 a newer encryption standard, and with the more advanced WPA2 standard wireless
networks have nally reached a point where their security is strong enough to give users peace of mind.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
WEP provides two variations, called Open System and Shared Key.
Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured 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 congured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from
the wireless client.
Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge
to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a success or a
denial packet back to the wireless client.
Encryption:
Use the radio button to disable or enable
encryption.

one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down

*Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.
**ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using
numbers ranging from 0-127.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)
WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i
standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA-EAP requires the user to install a RADIUS server on the network for authentication.
WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a RADIUS server on the network.
WPA-PSK is a weaker form of authentication when compared with WPA-EAP, but WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP.
WPA2 is an upgraded form of WPA. WPA2 solves some security issues found in WPA. Similar to WPA, WPA2 has two variations, called WPA2Personal (PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP).
WPA Mode:

PassPhrase:
When WPA-Personal is selected, you must also select a
WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use
dierent algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to
use both WPA and WPA2.
When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull-down menu.
Select the interval during which the group key will be valid.
The default value of 3600 is recommended.
When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a passphrase

Please note that when backwards compatibility is enabled for legacy
(802.11a/g/b) clients, degradation of 802.11n wireless performance
is expected.
When Wireless Mode is set to Mixed 802.11b, 802.11g (for 2.4GHz)
and 802.11a Only (for 5GHz), click the drop-down menu to indicate
the base transfer rate of wireless adapters on the wireless LAN. The
AP will adjust the base transfer rate depending on the base rate of
the connected device. If there are obstacles or interference, the AP
will derate the transfer rate.
Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a
wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The default (100)
is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save
the power of wireless clients, while setting a lower one can help a
wireless client connect to an access point faster.

Select a Delivery Trac Indication Message setting between 1 and 15. 1 is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown informing
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
