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.
Deployable on aWindows 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.

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 advancedWPA2 standard wireless
networks have nally reached a point where their security is strong enough to give users peace of mind.
Wireless Security
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 congured 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 congured 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 congured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge
to the client. The client will then again send a conrmation 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.

numbers ranging from 0-127.
