4.2 Setting up Eyes
From Release 5.0 onwards, the only mandatory setup phase is Eye IP address configuration. Carat will
install Eye software automatically while adding a new Eye to the system.
4.2.1 Eye IP address configuration
Step 1: Connect to Eye unit
By default Eye units have IP address 192.168.0.1 with net mask 255.255.255.0.
Connect to address 192.168.0.1 as root by using a SSH client.
# ssh root@<Eye IP address>
The root default password is ‘7signal’. It is strongly advised to change this password as it is factory default
for every single Eye unit.
Step 2: Configure IP settings
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 (optional):
# 7config ip set port <port>
Verify the settings with the ‘show’ command:
# 7config ip show
