9 WIRELESS NETWORKS AND TARGET NETWORKS
We refer IEEE802.11 networks as wireless networks. Target networks are wireless networks
that are being monitored by 7signal Sapphire and are under control of the Sapphire user.
9.1 Choosing Networks To Be Monitored
9.1.1 Root Organization
Sapphire can simultaneously manage networks in several independent organizations. A
company or other organization can have many separate locations. The networks are displayed
in a hierarchical tree, where the top node is a root organization that binds the various
organizations conceptually together.
A company can have several networks, for different purposes. For example:
• Office network
• Warehouse network
• Guest network
To meet this need, Sapphire can monitor several networks at the same time.
To handle a hierarchy that might grow utterly complex, 7signal uses a tree-structure. The root
of the tree is the so-called Root Organization. This is an artificial structure merely to hold all
the other objects and thus can be named quite freely.
1. From the top menu bar, select “View | Root Organization”
2. Enter the root organization’s name
3. Save by clicking “Save”
4. The Network topology is automatically displayed after saving
