# Service bulletin AVT\-13\-16

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Supersedes AVT\-12\-14 with updated information. If more than one VAS diagnostic device is connected to the dealership network, each device must be assigned a different computer name. This applies to both brand new and refurbished VAS diagnostic devices that are placed into service alongside existing devices. While various computer naming methods may be used, the following procedure suggests a consistent method to ?build?, set and subsequently verify unique computer names using market, dealership and device\-specific information. We recommend printing a copy of this document for use on individual devices as applicable. Please discard printed copies after use as a superseded version may be issued at any time. The information is specific to VAS 6150A/B/C diagnostic laptops and VAS 6160/A diagnostic tablet devices ONLY. If a new or revised computer name is required for a VAS 5051B diagnostic console, VAS 5052A diagnostic tablet or VAS 6150 laptop device, use the last 5 numbers of the equipment number or serial number located on the back of the device. If these are not legible, chose a combination of 5 numbers for the build sequence that are different from all other devices connected to the dealership network.
