Not sure if that's the kind of serial/console you need, or you have to hook it up to a serial on the PCB.
Trial and error.

read the comments too.

Based on https://blog.geierb.de/gluon-auf-aerohive-hiveap-330-installieren/ it's the console that's supposed to be used. Obviously putty works just as well as minicom.

Google FTW.
