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.

Wireless Client Mode

Web User Interface

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless

security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable.

There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are 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 the newest encryption protocol. With the advanced WPA2

standard wireless networks have nally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

Wireless Security

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

Encryption:

Key Type*,**:

Key Size:

Key Index (1-4):

Key:

Use the radio button to disable or enable

encryption.

Select HEX or ASCII.

Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits.

Select the 1st through the 4th key to be the active

key.

Input up to four keys for encryption. You will select

one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down

menu.

**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.

*ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using

numbers ranging from 0-127.

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.

Open System sends 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 sends 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 successful or a

denial packet back to the wireless client.

Web User Interface

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)

WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard.

There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).

WPA-Enterprise requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication.

WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.

Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than

WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.

WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal (PSK)

and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA.

When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type,

you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down

WPA and WPA2 use dierent algorithms. AUTO (WPA or

WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2.

When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO,

AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu.

802.11a only, and 802.11n Only in the 5 GHz band. Please note that

when backwards compatibility is enabled for legacy (802.11a/g/b)

clients, degradation of 802.11n (draft) wireless performance is

expected.

Indicate the base transfer rate of wireless adapters on the wireless

LAN. The AP will adjust the base transfer rate depending on the base

rate of the connected device. If there are obstacles or interference, the

AP will step down the rate. This option is enabled in Mixed 802.11g

and 802.11b mode (for 2.4 GHz) and 802.11a only mode (for 5 GHz).

The choices available are Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6

for 5 GHz and Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6, 11, 5.5, 2 or

1 for 2.4 GHz.

Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a

wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The default (100)

is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save

the power of wireless clients, while setting a lower one can help a

wireless client connect to an access point faster.

Select a Delivery Trac Indication Message setting between 1 and 15. 1 is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown informing

clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

This setting determines the power level of the wireless transmission. Transmitting power can be adjusted to eliminate the

overlapping of wireless area coverage between two access points where interference is a major concern. For example, if wireless

coverage is intended for half of the area, then select 50% as the option. Use the drop-down menu to select 100%, 50%, 25%, or

12.5%.

WMM stands for Wi-Fi Multimedia. Enabling this feature will improve the user experience for audio and video applications over

a Wi-Fi network.

To eectively optimize throughput over long distance links enter a value for Acknowledgement Time Out between 25 and 200

microseconds for 5 GHz or from 64 to 200 microseconds in the 2.4 GHz in the eld provided.

Select Enable or Disable. Enabling a short guard interval can increase throughput. However, be aware that it can also increase

the error rate in some installations due to increased sensitivity to radio-frequency installations.

Select Enable or Disable. Internet Group Management Protocol allows the AP to recognize IGMP queries and reports sent between

routers and an IGMP host (wireless STA). When IGMP snooping is enabled, the AP will forward multicast packets to an IGMP host

based on IGMP messages passing through the AP.

Adjust the multicast packet data rate here. The multicast rate is supported in AP mode, (2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ) and WDS with AP

mode, including Multi-SSIDs.

Adjust the multicast packet data rate here. The multicast rate is supported in AP mode, and WDS with AP mode, including Multi-

Select 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

Use the drop-down menu to Enable the 5G Preferred

function. When the wireless clients support both

2.4GHz and 5GHz and the 2.4GHz signal is not strong

enough, the device will use 5G as higher priority.

Enter the time in seconds to specify the interval of

updating information.

The 5G preferred dierence value is equal to the

number of 5GHz wireless client connections minus

the number of 2.4GHz wireless client connections.

If the number of 5GHz wireless client connections

minus the number of 2.4GHz wireless client connec-

tions exceed this value, the extra 5GHz wireless client

connections will be forced to connect to the 2.4GHz

band and not the 5GHz band.

Enter the maximum 5G connection attempts allowed before the 5G preferred function will be disabled for the wireless

station connection.

Select Enable or Disable. This is an option for load balancing. This determines whether to limit the number of users

accessing this device. The exact number is entered in the User Limit eld below. This feature allows the user to share the

wireless network trac and the client using multiple APs. If this function is enabled and when the number of users ex-

ceeds this value, or the network utilization of this AP exceeds the percentage that has been specied, the DAP-2662 will

not allow clients to associate with the AP.

Knowledge Base

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:

• Mobility - 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.

• Low 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.

• Installation 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.

• Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-2662 saves

money by providing users with multi-functionality congurable in four dierent modes.

• Scalability - 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.

Wireless Basics

Knowledge Base

The D-Link Access Point 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 access point 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

3. 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.

4. Building Materials make a dierence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eect on the 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.

5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

6. If you are using 2.4GHz 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 2.4GHz 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.

Wireless Installation Considerations

Troubleshooting

When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to

be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to

connect to the web-based utility.

• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:

• Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari 4 or higher

• Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a dierent cable or connect to a

dierent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned o, the link light may not be on.

• Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software rewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and

Windows® rewall may block access to the conguration pages. Check the help les included with your rewall software for more information on disabling

or conguring it.

• Congure your Internet settings:

Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their

defaults.

Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.

Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.

Close your web browser (if open) and open it.

• Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link access point in the address bar. This should open the login

page for your the web management.

• If you still cannot access the conguration, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing

the conguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a dierent computer.

Why can’t I access the web-based conguration utility?

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-2662. Read the following

descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a dierent operating system, the

screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately, this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.

To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered on, use a paperclip to hold the

button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the access

point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty.

What can I do if I forgot my password?

Troubleshooting

After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings

should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless

router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps

below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of

your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings,

and the settings on your router. Some rewall software programs may

block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

How to check your IP address?

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify

their wireless network settings.

Troubleshooting

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to

assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Step 1:

Windows® 2000: Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network

Connections

Windows XP: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections

Windows Vista®: Click on Start > Control Panel > Network and Internet >

Network and Sharing Center > Manage network connections

Step 2:

Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network

adapter and select Properties.

Step 3:

Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

Step 4:

Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the

same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP

address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure

that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set Default

Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router

(192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS

server from your ISP.

Step 5:

Click OK twice to save your settings.
