20.7 “Client Scan”
This test listens to radio traffic in the Sapphire Eye’s coverage area and gathers information on
wlan clients that are active i.e. exchange traffic with access points in the proximity.
The result contains all the clients that were active during the test. Please note that both
channels and antennas work in an exclusive manner, only one antenna and only one channel
are active at the time. In other words: it is impossible to capture all the traffic during the test
execution.
Depending on the test purpose, it might be worthwhile to define the interesting MAC
addresses beforehand, possibly giving a friendly-name, too. If such definition exists, the
friendly-name is shown in the result tables instead of text-formatted MAC addresses.
To run the test:
1. In the Network topology, select the Eye that will run the test
2. Right-click and select ”Manual tests | Client Traffic Test”
3. Select the antennas to be used in the test
4. Select the channels to be used in the test
5. Select the listening time from the drop-down menu, the division is similar to the
network scan
6. Select “Execute”
