TEST MEASUREMENTS
The tests are grouped into passive listening tests and active switched tests in the radio
network. There are two ways to run tests in Sapphire Carat: user-initiated tests to locate a
fault and automated tests for continuous monitoring and collecting of measurement results.
You can run the tests from a hierarchical tree. Test menus are accessible by right-clicking a
monitoring station or an access point. You can also run tests from the floor plan.

A test profile is a series of tests that can be run continuously either on a per-access-point
basis or in monitor mode, thus listening all 802.11 traffic. Sapphire contains preconfigured
profiles intended for typical business environments.
To set up test profiles, select “Manage | Test Profiles” to display the Test Profiles view. The
existing templates, test elements and actual profiles are displayed on the left in the
management tree in descending order, respectively.
