5 INSTALLING 7SIGNAL SAPPHIRE
5.1 Eye setup
Every Eye unit is identical when purchased, like other wireless network elements like typical
access points. Individual settings must be made to enable operation of numerous Eye units in
the same production network.
By default Eye units have IP address 192.168.0.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0.
Ssh connectivity is provided for configuration purposes. Carat user-interface manages the
software in the Eye but the requirement is a working management connection between Carat
application and Eye appliance.
• server.pem
• IP address
• (optional) Eye software version
Connect to address 192.168.0.1 as root by using a ssh client. The root default password is
‘7signal’. It is strongly advised to change this password as it is factory default for every single
Eye unit. One will enter a shell called ash.
Setting IP address of the management interface:
# 7config ip set addr <IP address>
Setting network mask of the management interface:
# 7config ip set mask <dot-format-mask>
Setting port of the management interface:
# 7config ip set port <port>
Create backup from current IP configuration:
# 7config ip backup create
Verify the settings with the ‘show’ command:
# 7config ip show
Reboot the Eye unit to make the changes effective:
# reboot
NOTE: the unit may be unreachable in the network that is being used for the
configuration if the destination network has incompatible settings.
