Wireless bridges for the doors and gates your access panel can't reach.

The KNECT line: two Endpoints with their antennas, an ARF Tether, and a Gateway in an open enclosure

Which system you need

It depends on how many doors and gates the site has, and whether an access panel is staying.

One door or gate

KNECT Point to Point. Two Endpoints. One wires to the access panel and the other goes at the door or gate.

Two to eight doors and gates

KNECT One to Many. One Gateway at the access panel, an ARF Tether for its radio, and an Endpoint at each door or gate.

What's different about a KNECT system

It's built for sites with more than one door or gate, and it lets you read the signal instead of guessing at it.

Four doors and gates run back to one unit

On a property with more than one door or gate, the usual answer is a separate bridge at each one. That's four sets of hardware and four connections at the access panel. One Gateway covers four Endpoints, and two Gateways chain for eight.

How One to Many works
The ARF Tether, the Gateway's radio, with its antenna fitted

The radio mounts up to 400 feet from the panel

Access panels usually go in an interior room, often inside a metal enclosure, and both are bad for a radio. The Gateway wires to the panel and draws power from it, and the ARF Tether is its radio, so the antenna goes where the signal is good.

Signal strength is readable on every device

Signal shows on the unit itself, in the KNECT Tech app over Bluetooth, and in the Aether RF IoT portal with history behind it. Check the link before you leave the site, and check it again from the truck three months later.

Wiring and pairing happen on the device

  • The wiring table is printed on the unit. Both units in a pair are identical, and they wire differently once paired. That table is printed on the face, where you are already looking.
  • Color coded terminals and status LEDs. You can tell a good install from the ground.
  • Pairing is DIP switches. No laptop and no software on site, so a system can be reconfigured years later by whoever is standing there.

Install guides

The guides are written for somebody standing at a gate holding a phone, and they're organized by how the system is wired rather than by part number.
