Deployment Guide

3. Reboot Eye unit:
# reboot
An example:
# 7config conn carat set 192.168.10.10:7799:7800:7SignalSolutionsInc
After reboot, the Eye establishes a connection to the Carat server on IP address 192.168.10.10 in the
example above. If the Eye is not already in the Carat server configuration, it will be added to the
organization 7signalSolutionsInc.
4.3.2 DHCP based configuration
Eyes can obtain Carat server connection information by utilizing DHCP options 60 and 43. A company
DHCP server needs to be configured to respond to DHCP option 60. The Eyes send DHCP option 60 with
vendor-class-identifier “SevenSignal-Eye” when they request an IP address for their Ethernet interface.
The DHCP server must respond with DHCP option 43, vendor option space must be “SevenSignal”.
