Nuclias Connect Controller Introduction

Nuclias Network Controller is D-Link's centralized management solution for business networks. Nuclias Network Controller 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 Network Controller gives you the financial and technical flexibility to expand from a medium-sized network to a larger one, 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 multiple languages, Nuclias Network Controller minimizes the hassle of deployment, configuration, and administration tasks.

The DNH-1000/3000 Nuclias Network Controller is a hardware controller with pre-loaded software. It is designed to support small-to-middle business or enterprise environments by providing network dministrators with the capability to manage D-Link DAP series access points and switches through a single platform. The Nuclias Network Controller can currently manage up to 500(DNH-1000)/1500(DNH-3000) devices per unit, with the potential to extend support to other Nuclias Network Controller products in future firmware updates.

Nuclias Network Controller 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 Network Controller 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 Network Controller 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 Network Controller 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.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2 / WPA3)

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-EAP 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/WPA3 are upgrades of WPA. WPA2/WPA3 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2/WPA3 have two variations called WPA2/WPA3-Personal (PSK) and WPA2/WPA3-Enterprise (EAP) which are the same as found with WPA.

WPA Mode: When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 or WPA3, WPA2 Only or WPA3 Only.

Cipher Type: When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the drop-down menu.

Group Key Update: Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 3600 is recommended.

Pass Phrase: When you select WPA-Personal, enter a Pass Phrase in the corresponding field.

DHCP Server

Dynamic Pool Settings

The DHCP address pool defines the range of the IP address that can be assigned to stations in the network. A Dynamic Pool allows wireless stations to receive an available IP with lease time control. If needed or required in the network, the DAP-E9560 is capable of acting as a DHCP server.

Function Enable/Disable: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) assigns dynamic IP addresses to devices on the network. This protocol simplifies network management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the need to manually assign new IP addresses. Select Enable to allow the DAP-E9560 to function as a DHCP server.

IP Assigned From: Input the first IP address available for assignment on your network.

IP Pool Range(1-254): Enter the number of IP addresses available for assignment. IP addresses are increments of the IP address specified in the "IP Assigned From" field.

Domain Name: Enter the domain name of the network, if applicable. (An example of a domain name is: www.dlink.com.)

Lease Time: The lease time is the period of time before the DHCP server will assign new IP addresses.

Save: Click to save the updated configuration. To make the updates permanent, click Configuration > Save and Activate.

Static Pool Setting

The DHCP address pool defines the range of IP addresses that can be assigned to stations on the network. A static pool allows specific wireless stations to receive a fixed IP without time control.
