Powering Up
1. Connect the power adaptor barrel plug into the DC-in socket (4)
2. The user LEDs (2) will light up and then LEDs will blink rapidly as the CPU system boots.
Login
User’s can login the system using either LAN port (3), diagnostic port (1) or using HDMI display
(15) plus a keyboard on a USB port.
Login using LAN Port:
1. Attach a LAN cable to LAN port
2. Connect other end of LAN cable to a Windows or Linux system
3. The ARCA system is shipped with a factory default IP address 192.168.1.150
4. ssh to this IP address, login “root”, password “root”
5. Change root password on first login to assure security of the system
6. Change IP address as desired
Login using Diagnostic Port:
1. Attach the diagnostics USB cable device plug to the diagnostic port socket (1)
2. Attach the host end of the USB cable to any Linux or Windows PC

3. The host system should automatically detect serial devices on the USB port and install
necessary drivers automatically.
On Windows systems, the serial port will appear as COM22, COM23. (usually these
numbered ports, but it can vary from system to system). Out of these two, the first port is
used to connect to ARCA CPU.
On Linux systems, the serial ports will appear as ttyACM0 and ttyACM1. Out of these, the first
one is used to connect to ARCA CPU.

4. Using a terminal emulator such as “putty” or “minicom”, attach to serial port
/dev/ttyACM0 using parameters “115200,8,N1”
5. Once at login prompt, login as “root”, password “root”.
6. Change root password at first login to assure security of the system
7. Change IP address as desired.
Login using HDMI display plus keyboard:
1. Connect a HDMI display to the HDMI port
2. Connect a keyboard to any of the USB host ports
3. Login as “root”, password “root”
4. Change root password at first login to assure security of the system
5. Change IP address as desired
