Disabling the RT-Range's wireless LAN

It has not been necessary to disable the wireless LAN in the old style RT-Range cases in order to use
the RT-XLAN. However, there may be times when the internal wireless LAN will conflict with the RT-
XLAN. If this happens then the internal wireless LAN in the RT-Range should be disabled.
If the internal RT-Range wireless LAN is disabled then, as best practice, clearly label the outside of
the box to note that it has been disabled. It is very difficult to diagnose a problem with the wireless
LAN so clear marking is essential.
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.
To remove the front panel from the RT-Range Hunter carefully undo the four screws on the front
panel. These usually require a 2 mm metric Allen (hex) key; some RT-Range systems have been
supplied with screws that require a 2.5 mm Allen key.
Figure 11. Removing the front panel on the RT-Range Hunter
Do not remove the front panel completely; just raise it high enough to gain access to the internal
wireless LAN as shown in Figure 11. Be aware of the metal strengthening bars at the top and bottom;
these are loose and will drop off very easily. If they do, ensure they are back in place before doing the
panel back up and ensure that the screw holes are lined up accurately.
Once the panel is undone, the back of the WLAN unit can be seen. This is shown in Figure 11.
Remove the power jack plug. Cover the jack plug with insulation tape so that it does not short against
anything internally. Secure the jack plug with tape so that it cannot flap about inside the RT-Range
Hunter. The internal wireless LAN is now disabled.
