Introduction
This manual covers all the functions of the products that form KBC Networks’ WES2HT
Series. The WES2HT High Throughput Wireless Ethernet System is a wireless
transmission system that provides a cable less transmission path for an Ethernet
channel. They are designed for use in a wide range of operating temperatures in non-
environmentally conditioned, outdoor applications. The primary function of the system is
to replace Ethernet cables where it is not practical or cost-effective or where it is beyond
distance limitations. WES2HT has been specifically designed to transmit constant
streaming video but can also be used to send and receive standard Ethernet data
packets and in some cases, with certain WES2HT models, to operate as a WiFi Access
Point. The units can be configured as a long range point-to-point wireless bridge or as a
point-to-multipoint receiving antenna communicating to numerous transmitting
Client/Station devices. This manual covers all operations and functions of the point-to-
point and point-to-multipoint systems.
