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.

Mounting
LAN Port Waterproof Enclosure
Connect an Ethernet Cable to the LAN(PoE) port on the DIS-3650AP. Use
the LAN Port Waterproof Enclosures to seal the ports.
Install Enclosure Onto The Articulation Pole
Attach the articulation pole to back of AC using M5x16 screws & washers.

Installation for Pole
Mounting for Recommended Pole Dia.: 1.5~2”(38.1~50.8mm)
(A) The diameter of the Pole is too large Will result in the failure to install
smoothly, the diameter is too small and the clamping force is insucient.
* Pole diameter Max.: 2.1”(53.3mm)
Min.: 1.0”(25.4mm)
(B) To minimize bolts crosstalk, the bolts should gradually increasing load
and parallel tighten.
