Hello!
On these routers, the only capable method of attaching the devices
that we use to access the One-Wire devices is the serial port that the
routers wear. Originally they were used (or were supposed to have been
used) by the designers for debugging and other methods.

On a website that explains in slightly greater detail the methods for
attaching a serial port to them, there are better photographs and a
completely more involved discussion then anything we've explored here.
