| + | ===== Serial Port (EX3700) ===== | ||
| + | Access to the serial port is useful for debugging etc. Instructions are as follows: | ||
| + | - Remove the two external screws on the enclosure and pull of power supply unit (connected via 2.54mm headers) | ||
| + | - Pull up the two antenna cables under the black fabric tape | ||
| + | - Undo the phillips screw holding the heatsink in place | ||
| + | - Pry up on the screw side of the heatsink (take care, as it is stuck down with a thermal pad) | ||
| + | - With the heatsink off, the PCB should pry up from the opposite side of the ethernet port | ||
| + | - On the bottom of the PCB are test points labeled TX, | ||
| + | - Solder small wires onto the test points and tuck the wires through one of the cooling holes in the enclosure for easy access | ||
| + | - Reverse the disassembly process to put the device back together, being careful with the serial port wires, and remembering to re-attach the antenna cables | ||
| + | The serial port configuration is 8 data bits, one stop bit, and a baud rate of 57200. | ||
| - | I'm bad at creating pages, sorry :( | + | ===== Notes ===== |
| - | + | If you have disassembled your device, take care when re-installing the antenna cables. It is possible that when twisting the antenna around, you can pop out one of the cables. To remedy this, I put some epoxy resin on the connectors to lock them in place. Only do this if you aren't planning on re-disassembling your device | |
