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 (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, conguration,
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 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 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 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 & manage a variety of distributed deployments, including setting & 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.

Basic Installation
Hardware Setup
Mounting the Device on a Wall
The DIS-2650AP can be installed on a solid surface by using the included wall mounting plates attached to the back of the device. Use the following
instructions to install the DIS-2650AP on a wall:
1. Align the cross-section of the mounting plates with the openings on the back of the device. Secure the plates with the included mounting screws.
2. Remove the DIN rail mounting clip from the back of the device (if present).
3. Place the mounting brackets (attached to the device) on the location where you want to mount it, and use the brackets as a guide to mark
where to drill the screw holes.
4. Drill holes on the marks and insert wall anchors appropriate for the material of the wall.
5. Align the device with the wall anchors and secure it to the wall using appropriate screws for the wall anchors.

Basic Installation

Installing the Device on a DIN Rail
The DIS-2650AP can be mounted on a standard DIN rail using the included DIN mounting kit.
Use the following instructions to install the DIS-2650AP on a rail:
1. Check that the DIN rail is installed properly using at least two screws on each end.
2. Fasten the DIN mounting clip to the rear panel of the device using the included mounting screws.
3. Position the DIS-2650AP against the rail, then tilt it upwards and hook the DIN rail clip on the back of the device against the rail. Snap the device
into place to complete the installation.

Basic Installation
10
Installing the Device into a Rack
The DIS-2650AP can be mounted on a standard rack using the included mounting plates. To install the device on a rack:
1. Attach the mounting brackets to the rear panel of the device using the provided installation screws.
2. Use the provided screws to attach the two rear mounting plates to the rack.

Basic Installation
11
Grounding the Device
To use the DIS-2650AP safely, it needs to be grounded. Please complete these steps before powering on the device.
1. Remove the grounding screw from the top of the DIS-2650AP and place the grounding cable lug ring on top of the grounding screw opening.
2. Insert the grounding screw back into the grounding screw opening and use a screwdriver to tighten the grounding screw, securing the grounding
cable to the DIS-2650AP.
3. Attach the terminal lug ring at the other end of the grounding cable to an appropriate grounding source.
Powering the Device
The DIS-2650AP can be powered with an 802.3at PoE source or by using the built-in terminal adapter. This allows dual power inputs using wires
from the power source(s) to be screwed into the terminal connections.
Using the Terminal Connections
1. Before continuing, consult the diagram below to decide which wires from the power source need to connect to which contacts on the terminal
block. Note that two power sources can be used; one inserted intoV1-/V1+ (labeled PWR 1) and the other inserted into V2-/V2+ (labeled PWR2).

Basic Installation
