Plug it in, and use it ;-).

Well, you might also need to load the appropriate driver as a kernel
module if you haven't compiled it into your kernel.  I just kldload ucom
(generic USB <-> serial driver) and uplcom (driver for my USB serial
adapter) and then I can use /dev/ucom0 as a normal serial device.

Watch the kernel console output (e.g. with dmesg) to see if the devices
is detected correctly).
