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, configure, optimize, scale, and secure your network — delivering the convenience of an Enterprise-wide management solution
at an SMB price. Nuclias Connect gives you the financial and technical flexibility 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, configuration, and administration.
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 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 offers tremendous flexibility compared to traditional hardware-based unified
management systems. Configuration can be done remotely. Network traffic 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
find APs and import profiles with minimum effort, which can be applied as needed to groups or individual APs for even more effective configuration.
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 configuration for each deployment.
Nuclias Connect allows for multiple user authentications while enabling specific access control configurations for each SSID, giving admins the
option of configuring separate internal networks for different subnets, while enabling more advanced Value-Added Services, such as Captive Portal
or Wi-Fi Hotspot.
