Models There are two models in the RT-XLAN family. A base unit is needed to set up the network and then multiple client units connect to the base-unit. The base unit acts as an access point and all the clients connect to this access point to share their data.
Scope of delivery The RT-XLAN is supplied with all the parts that are needed for use with the RT-Range. Both the base unit and the client unit come with the same parts. Table 1 and Table 2 list the parts that are delivered with an RT-XLAN and Figure 1 shows the RT-XLAN and its components.
For any installation it is essential to have one RT-XLAN base unit. This would normally be in the hunter vehicle but it can be in any vehicle. One or more RT-XLAN client unit(s) can be installed in other vehicles; normally these would be installed in the target vehicles.

The plastic protection plate should be retained and replaced on the cup when not in use to protect the surface from damage. Although the RT-XLAN is weather resistant, we strongly recommend that the N-Type connector from the device to the antenna is covered with self-amalgamating tape to help protect it from moisture.
RT-XLAN retaining strap For added safety, it is recommended that when installing the RT-XLAN for use on any moving vehicle, the RT-XLAN retaining strap must always be used. (See Figure 4 below) Figure 4.
RT3000 v3 and then connect the 110-00274-301 PoE Ethernet to M12 cable from the RT-XLAN to the dedicated socket on the Auxiliary cable. This is socket J2 in Figure 5. This dedicated socket powers up the RT-XLAN as well as handling the Ethernet link.
Connection to RTs without an Auxiliary connector If the RT-XLAN is to be used with an RT device other an RT3000 v3 or RT500, then it will be necessary to supply power and Ethernet to the RT-XLAN via the Y cable converter kit (ordered separately).

Figure 8. Wiring diagram for RT1003 / RT2002 / RT3000 / RT4000 Note: connections not relevant to the RT-XLAN are not shown in this diagram. The RT connections shown are for an RT1003 / RT3000 v2 / RT4000 unit. With an RT2002, the RT-Range connections are made directly to the front panel of the RT2002 instead of through the 14C0038A user cable.
When connecting the RT-XLAN to an RT Range S Hunter or Target box, simply connect the PoE Ethernet to M12 cable from the RT-XLAN to the front of the RT-Range S as shown in Figure 9. This provides power to the RT-XLAN as well as Ethernet as in the RT3000 v3.

Figure 10. Do not be tempted to extend the Ethernet cable to the RT-XLAN as this may result in damage if the connections are crossed over. It has not been necessary to disable the wireless LAN in the original RT-Range cases in order to use the RT-XLAN.
RT-XLAN units from another country. It is possible to change the configuration in the field but it is necessary to contact OxTS support for information on how to do this. If any configuration is changed then, as best practice, make sure the stickers on the outside of the RT-XLAN are changed to reflect the configuration changes made.
RT-Range can be used as normal. LED indicators Found on the side of the RT-XLAN are a series of LEDs. These provide a quick indication of the status of the RT-XLAN without the need for any software.
In order to disable the wireless LAN in the RT-Range it is necessary to disassemble it. The instructions for disassembling both the RT-Range Hunter and the RT-Range Target are the same. These instructions can also be used to enable the wireless LAN if the RT-XLAN is no longer being used.
