Disabling The Rt-Range's Wireless Lan - OXTS RT-XLAN User Manual

The wireless LAN antenna on the RT-Range should be removed. It may be necessary
to disable the wireless LAN in the RT-Range to avoid Ethernet conflicts. During tests
at OxTS it has been possible to run both the RT-Range wireless LAN and the RT-
XLAN at the same time but this cannot be guaranteed. See the next section on Error!

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 clearly label the outside of the
box so it is clear 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 4 screws on
the front panel. These usually require a 2mm metric Allen (hex) key; some RT-Range
systems have been supplied with screws that require a 2.5mm Allen key.
Figure 9. Removing the front panel screws 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 9. 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.
