Available Opcodes

Note

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.
