Available Opcodes

We provide support for Arcusv2. Any previous versions of Arcus are no longer supported by Development.

Initialization

Opcode: 0x01

Our Agent will connect to your Arcus port and send this initialization packet. You must reply with an Acknowledged packet when everything is ok. If something is wrong, e.g. an invalid password, you must close the connection.

}

Acknowledged

Opcode: 0x10

Let the our Agent know that the packet has been received correctly.

Unknown Opcode

Opcode: 0x02

The requested opcode is not implemented. Informs the caller that it does not support this opcode.

Soft Stop
