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 (manual) 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.

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. Test profile (element) can also be
configured to run tests through monitoring station Ethernet port. 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.
