I will assume that you are using GNU/Linux systems (Ubuntu,Debian, CentOS etc.) to configure your CISCO router using CLI.
Open your terminal and install minicom and setserial by typing this command in the terminal.

apt-get install minicom setserial

Check your serial port

dmesg | grep tty

The output should be like this:

[   18.439952] console [tty0] enabled
[   20.172975] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
[   20.173725] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
