You can log in to the RS485 console with a 2-wire cable. You can use the RS485 jack that comes with the router, the other end of the cable basically depends on your end device's capabilities (it can be USB, RS232, etc.).
===Router configuration===
----
The configuration for the router's side is fairly simple. Just log in to the router's WebUI, go to '''Services → RS232/RS485''', put a check mark next to '''Enable''' field and select '''Serial type: Console''' (the same is true for both RS232 and RS485):

You can leave the rest of the settings as defaults or set them in accordance with your needs. Don't forget to click save after you have made the changes.
===Linux===
----
To log in from a Linux PC, you'll need an application for serial communication like '''minicom''' or '''gtkterm'''.
* For this example we'll be using minicom. You can download it by typing these lines into the Terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install minicom
'''update''' downloads a list of newest software packages; '''install minicom''' downloads and installs minicom.
----
* Once you've installed minicom, you can run it with the command '''sudo minicom'''. This will open a new console window where you will need to set some things up. Press '''Ctrl + A''' at once on your keyboard, then press '''Z''' which will direct you to the settings menu:

----
* Next, press '''O''' on your keyboard. This will direct you to the main settings menu. From there you should specify the name of the serial device and the same parameters that you entered in the router's configuration. A picture with corresponding parameters is presented below:

Once done press "Enter". In the next menu you can save these settings as defaults by selecting '''Save setup as dfl''' so that you wouldn't need to set everything up the next time you use the console.
