Note: A passive profile has an extremely small effect on the monitored network. The only
effect is that Sapphire sends probe requests to access points.
Warehouse
The “Warehouse” template serves the needs of logistics services where the amount of data
transferred is not large but the data traffic is continuous. Network availability and uptime
are vital. The network clients are mostly known or even preconfigured. This profile can be
used in all environments that have similar circumstances.
Office
The “Office” template is intended for office use wherein the clients are mostly laptops
running office applications. An office WLAN must have superb usability and a robust data
transfer capacity. This profile can be used in all environments with similar circumstances.
Lightweight
The “Lightweight” profile is intended for environments that do not have several concurrent
users and that have a narrowband link to a central server (<512 kbit/s). This profile
emphasizes WLAN availability. Another emphasis is on a fast testing cycle, where each test
takes only a short time.
VoIP
The “VoIP” template is intended for environments where the wireless clients are mostly
VoIP devices. A wireless VoIP network must have extremely high-quality radio connections.
The MOS test indicates packet losses and jitter in the network, among other things.
Hospital
“Hospital” resembles the “Office” template. However, the “Hospital” template produces
more results that describe the status of the wireless clients. The profile is a general-purpose
one that emphasizes wireless clients.
Spectrum and Noise
This template is limited in test elements: there are no active test at all. It is targeted for
environments that have severe interference conditions. This can be considered as a trouble-
shooting template that is activated if the normal course of testing does not provide enough
information on the source of the interference.
Surveillance
The “Surveillance” is a limited template with one test only that specializes in surveillance.
The point is to capture traffic in any channel in any direction. The rationale is environments
where there should be no radio traffic at all or only for white-listed devices.
TripleSSID
Mainly example how to configure test profiles that access numerous wlan networks in a
single profile. This is the case one Eye unit is supposed to monitor multiple wlans
concurrently. The next chapter has more details on this.
