 +===== 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,RX,GND,3V3 - this is the serial port header
 +  - 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.
 +
 +===== 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 (to get access to the serial port).
