Using Auto Meter’s optional
adapter cord AC-10 insert the
plug into the jack on the BVA-
2100 and then plug the serial
adapter into a free serial port on
your computer.
Note: Most computers are
congured with at least one serial
port (identied as COM 1), and
some have a second serial port,
usually identied as (COM 2).
Check your computer manual to
locate and identify a serial port
connector. Even if you have a
physical COM port you need to
make sure it is working properly
before you proceed. Consult your
computer manual. If your computer
serial port is congured for 25 pin
you will need to obtain an adapter
from your computer store. If
your computer does not have an
available serial port and you’re
planning on using Windows HYPER
Terminal as illustrated below, you
will need to buy and install an
adapter card with a serial port.
