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 tasks.
Deployable on 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
Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. 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 no encryption. WPA is the newest encryption protocol. 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.
Open System sends 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 sends 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 successful or a
denial packet back to the wireless client.
Encryption:
Use the radio button to disable or enable
encryption.

Key Index (1-4):

Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits.
Select the 1st through the 4th key to be the active

Key:
Input up to four keys for encryption. You will select
one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down
menu.
**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.

Web User Interface
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2/WPA3)
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-Enterprise 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.
Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than
WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.
WPA3 is an upgrade of WPA2. WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA2.
DIS-3650AP supports WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and WPA3 Personal only, it does not support WPA3 Enterprise due to hardware limitation.

When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type,
you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down

WPA2, and WPA2 or WPA3 allows you to use both of WPA2
and WPA3.
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 1800 is recommended.
When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a Pass Phrase
