Deployment Guide
2. DHCP based configuration. The Eyes obtain the Carat IP address, port numbers and organization
name by utilizing DHCP options 60 and 43 as described below.
3. DNS redirector based configuration. The Eyes obtain Carat IP address, port numbers and
organization name by utilizing specially configured DNS server as described below.
If the Eye is not already provisioned in the Carat server configuration, the Carat server will add the Eye
automatically to its network topology configuration. The following rules are applied:
1. The Eye will be added to a Service Area named “Default”.
2. If a Service Area named “Default” does not exist, it will be created to first Location of the
Organization.
3. If there are no Locations configured yet, a Location named “Default” will be created.
4. If there are no Organizations configured yet, an Organization named “Default” will be created.

7799>
:<Carat server default port, typically 7800 >
[:<Organization name to which the Eye

The default port is the TCP port to which new Eyes connect initially. When Eye setup phase is complete,
Eye will connect to port 7799.
