Testing on multiple essid’s is achieved by either copying and editing individual test element in
a profile or copying a complete template to pasted to an existing profile.
Whenever it is possible to define an essid to a test element there may be exactly one essid per
element or no essid at all. The latter means that the test in question shall be executed against
all access points managed by the monitoring station. The former limits the access points to
ones that have the essid and are managed by the monitoring station.
17.4 Operations on Templates
Templates are for copying and editing. There are two different supported methods for that,
“Duplicate” to make a fresh copy of the sample profile and “Copy as essid” that adds the
template profile to an existing test profile.
