Here are the following steps to retrieve Arkos log in real-time :

  • Once your Pax device is initialized/configured, Navigate to Menu, Maintenance Menu, Exit to TM(let terminal in TM).

  • To allow only one instance of Arkos running, the first step is mandatory.

  • Connect using TermAssist. It is to be noted that my PAX device is connected to port, COM5. Navigate to Debug tab, enter port 2323 under the Telnetd Server section and click start.

  • This means that your PAX device is now ready to listen for requests.

  • In order to access the data in the device, a client is needed. In our case, PuTTy is used to accessing the data.

  • Below is the PuTTy Configuration used.

  • Enter the hostname and the port as in the picture and click open.

  • you will see a screen pop-up asking for login. Enter MAINAPP

  • Navigate to Arkos application (cd data/app/MAINAPP)

  • Execute ./Arkos_ee

  • You should see logs in real-time and Arkos starting.

  • Ctrl + C to exit.
