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 Basics
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:
yMobility - 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.
yLow 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.
yInstallation 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.
yInexpensive solution - Wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-3666 saves
money by providing users with multi-functionality congurable in four dierent modes.
yScalability - 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.

Connect to your Network
To power the access point, you can use one of the following 3 methods:
yMethod 1 - Power on by PoE switch.
yMethod 2 - Power on by PoE kit.
Method 1 - Powered by PoE switch
1. Connect one end of your Ethernet cable into the LAN1 (PoE) port on the DAP-3666 and then connect the other end to your PoE switch.

11D-Link DAP-3666 User Manual
Wireless Basics
Method 2 - Powered by PoE kit
1. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the Data In port on the PoE injector and the other end into one port on your switch, router, or
computer.
2. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable into the P+Data Out port on the PoE base unit and the other end into the LAN1 (PoE) port on the
DAP-3666 access point.
3. Use the supplied power adapter. Connect the power adapter to the Power In receptor on the PoE adapter.
4. Connect the power cable to the power adapter and then connect the other end into a power outlet.

Installation Considerations
The D-Link wireless device 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 D-Link device 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 (.5 meters), at a 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.
3. Building materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on 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.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4 GHz 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 2.4 GHz 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.
