7signal Sapphire Loupe User Guide Release 3.0
1 LOUPE
Sapphire Loupe is a browser application for viewing test results and saving the test results.
Open Loupe in a browser. Type the Loupe server’s IP address into the Address field. Loupe
uses the same user database as Sapphire Carat. An encrypted connection is used to transmit
the username and password.
1.1 Loupe login
Login and authentication is similar to the management GUI, 7signal Sapphire Carat.
On top of typical username/password combination the user may have to select a group (access
context) as well. This is primarily for multi-organization environments where one user account
is able to manage numerous wlan networks otherwise separated by access rights. However,
only one administrative domain is accessed at one particular session. To manage another wlan
network or organization, the same user account has to do another login with another context.
1.2 Loupe at a first-glance
After a successful authentication, a typical Loupe screen is opened. The network topology
accessible to the current user is displayed on the left and on the right there is the Summary
pane. There are no default charts available to keep the start-up both responsive and relevant.
The Summary pane operations and options are explained below.
