Manual how to bind the
DGS-1210 Switches into the Nuclias Connect
For Nuclias Connect Hardware DNH-100 Rev.A and Nuclias Connect Software DNC-100
For DGS-1210 Rev.F and Rev.G
To bind the DGS-1210 with Hardware Revision (Rev.) F and G into
the Nuclias Connect please follow these steps.
1. Requirements
- DGS-1210 Switch in Rev.F with firmware version 6.30.xx or higher
- DGS-1210 Switch in Rev.G with firmware version 7.30.xx or higher
This you can download from our D-A-CH-BE-NE-LUX web sites https://www.dlink.com
or from https://ftp.dlink.de/dgs/dgs-1210/driver_software/
- DNH-100 Nuclias Conenct Hub with the actual Firmware 1.2.0.1 or higher.
Or DNC-100 Nuclias Connect Software in the actual Version 1.2.0.9 or higher.
2. Preparations
Different to the DAP Access Points the DGS-1210 must be pre-configured so far that it
got an IP-address from the DHCP-Server in the network or has a static IP-address
compatible to the network.
By default the DGS-1210 has the static IP-address 10.90.90.90
with subnet mask 255.0.0.0
Change the TCP/IP of the network connection temporarily to configure the DGS-1210.
Alternative or if you don’t know the IP-address of your DGS-1210 you can use our
Software D-Link Network Assistant (DNA) to find it out or to change it.
See following screenshot.
You can download the DNA from
https://ftp.dlink.de/software/DNA/D-Link_Network_Assistant_DNA_40021_all_en.zip
With the PC mouse go over the DGS-1210 entry and then click onto IP on the right.
Then you can change the IP-address of the DGS-1210.

Note:
In the following steps granting that you already made a setup in
your DNH-100 / DNC-100 (following named as NC) and have it in use
with DAP-models, so the NC has a basic setup already.
3. Call the setup of your NC and log-in.
We recommend to use the English setup because the translation in other languages isn’t fine sometimes.
- Chose English.
- Enter the username admin and your configured Admin-password.
- If necessary enter the displayed CAPTCHA.
- Click onto Login.
4. On the left go to the menu Configuration and then Create Profile.
Upper-right click onto Add Network to create a new Switch-Profile.
Note:
Switches can’t be bound into AP-Profiles, also AP not into Switch-Profiles.
5. Create a newSite.
Give the site and the network a name and then click onto Next.

6.
- Chose the Country where the switch has to work.
- If necessary modify the Time Zone.
- Set a hook at Switch.
- At Series Supported a hook must be at DGS-1210.
- At Password you must enter the Admin-password this the DGS-1210 has to get from
the NC-Profile as soon as it will be bound-in.
Click onto Next.
7. Normally it is fine to use Layer 2.
Click onto Next.
8. Upper-left click onto Discovery to let search for DGS-1210 switches.

9. The in the network available and compatible DGS-1210 will be found.
Mark the DGS-1210 this you want to bid into the NC-Profile.
Enter the Admin-password this the DGS-1210 actually has.
- The default Admin-password is admin.
- If you already have changed the Admin-password then enter this.
Click onto Import to take over the marked DGS-1210 into the NC-Profile.
Recommendation!!
For each DGS-1210 create an own NC-Profile.
Else it can become difficult because the NC displays all LAN ports of all DGS-1210 in the
NC-profile like they are one DGS-1210.
Example: The LAN ports of three DGS-1210-10P will be listed as 30 ports –a
differentiation which port if from which switch won’t be so easy.
10. Click onto Yes.

11. The displayed NC flickers a few times now.
Please what until this ends.
Click onto Apply & Exit.
12. After 3-5 minutes the switch will be displayed in the Dashboard.
Click onto this…
…then the Status of the DGS-1210 will be displayed.
Normally at this moment it is boarding.
Status is orange = Boarding
After additionally 3-5 minutes the Status is green = Connected
The DGS-1210 can be managed and configured via the NC now.

13. To access the possible settings of the DGS-1210 in the NC, on the left go to the
menu Configuration and then Profile Settings.
There inside the created profile of the DGS-1210 you can make several settings.
Note:
Unfortunately it is not possible to make all settings of a DGS-1210 via the NC (yet).
The DGS-1210 still has the fully setup like a standalone switch.
The access is via a web browser via his IP-address.
The Admin-password is this you configured via the NC profile (see step 9 on page 4).
With it the binding of the DGS-1210 Rev.F and/or G into the Nuclias Connect is finished.
Example:
Each a DGS-1210 Rev.F and G is bound into the Nuclias Connect:
