Communications Tab

The Communications tab displays the plug-in ports (locations) on the laptop required for communication to the mobile 

transceiver and/or receiver and the GPS  Before reading meters for the first time, it is important to ensure the correct 

communication (Com/COM) ports have been set for the mobile transceiver and/or receiver to establish communication with 

the ORS software application 

The settings on the Communications tab are configured during system setup and, in most cases, do not need to be 

changed  Changes to the COM port fields should be made under the direction of Badger Meter Technical Support  

When finished making changes to the settings on this screen, select OK and return to the reading cycle  Select Cancel to 

disregard any changes and return to the main menu
