10 EYE CONFIGURATION
10.1 States of Monitoring Stations
The Eye unit may be in an inactive state. This happens if there is no network connectivity to
the monitoring station when a monitoring station is being added to the system. Also, an active
monitoring station may be turned inactive. This allows exceeding the number of monitoring
stations limited by the license. Only active monitoring stations may run the tests but the
topology may contain unlimited number of inactive monitoring stations.

10.2 Adding Monitoring Stations
Monitoring stations can be added in the service areas in the Network topology.
There are two ways to add a monitoring station: Automatically detect monitoring station in
the network, or adding monitoring station manually.
10.2.1 Detecting and adding monitoring station
1. In the Network topology, select the service area where you want to set up a
monitoring station (Eye)
2. Right-click the service area and select “Find and add Eye”
Carat server detects any non-configured monitoring stations in the local area network, and
shows a list of IP addresses of these stations.
