17 AUTOMATED TEST CONFIGURATION
The tests are grouped into passive listening tests and active tests in the radio network. There
are two ways to run tests in Sapphire Carat: user-initiated tests to locate a fault and
automated tests for continuous monitoring and collecting of measurement results.
You can run the tests from a hierarchical tree. Test menus are accessible by right-clicking a
monitoring station or an access point. You can also run tests from the floor plan.

A test profile is a series of tests that can be run continuously either on a per-access-point basis
or in monitor mode, thus listening all 802.11 traffic. Sapphire contains preconfigured profiles
intended for typical business environments.
To set up test profiles, select “Manage | Test Profiles” to display the Test Profiles view. The
existing templates, test elements and actual profiles are displayed on the left in the
management tree in descending order, respectively.
 Templates are a collection of pre-configured test profiles aimed at various business
purposes. They are not to be used as runnable test profiles but as a source, reference
and model for the user creating the runnable test profiles.
 Elements are individual tests that may be inserted to test profiles.
