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 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, configuration, 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 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 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 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 and manage a variety of distributed deployments, including settings and 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.
