1 7signal WQA solution 1 Welcome to learn about 7signal Sapphire that provides you a new way to continuously and automatically measure the health and quality of a wireless network from the user's perspective. A commonly used term here is wireless quality assurance, or WQA. Companies and their business processes are becoming increasingly dependent on the performance and service quality of their wireless networks.
1 7signal WQA solution 2 The 7signal Sapphire quality monitoring solution consists of Sapphire Eye monitoring stations, Sonar test servers, the Sapphire Carat management software, and Sapphire Loupe for viewing and reporting on results. 1.2 Hardware 7signal Sapphire Eye is a wireless probe or a monitoring station that is installed in a central position within the WLAN network. Currently there are two versions of the Eye: version supporting 802.11a/b/g standards and version supporting 802.
1 7signal WQA solution Electrical compass GPS receiver1 2 1.2.2 802.11a/b/g/n 802.11a/b/g/n version of Eye has the following main features (partly optional): 1 2 Mechanical parts injection molded polycarbonate plastic Linux computer, 1GB Flash memory WLAN radio module, 802.11 a/b/g/n support (2.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz-5.
2 Requirements 4 2.1 Carat server requirements Carat server controls Eye units and collects measurement results to the database. Carat server runs on Linux operating system and can be installed to dedicated server or virtual environment.
2 Requirements 5 The following ports should be opened in firewalls: Source IP/Mask Destination IP/Mask Protocol/Port Comments Carat server connections to Eye Carat server IP/32 Eye Ethernet IP/32 TCP/77993 Eye management Carat server IP/32 Eye Ethernet IP/32 TCP/22 Eye (SSH) Carat GUI connections to Carat server Carat GUI IP/32 Carat server IP/32 TCP/477773 Carat GUI Carat GUI IP/32 Carat server IP/32 TCP/1099 Carat GUI RMI Loupe client (web browsers) connections to Carat server Browse
3 7signal Sapphire Connectivity 3.1 Communication security All connections containing meaningful traffic are being encrypted. The used encryption methods are TLS and SSL. The PKI infrastructure (certificates) is being used throughout the solution. Every customer has individual set of certificates, delivered within containers called certificate packages. It is not possible to use the delivered certificates to decrypt traffic of other 7signal Sapphire systems.
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 4.1 Operating System installation tips It is recommended to install the operating system by using the graphical installer. 4.1.1 Hard disk partitioning This chapter gives some guidelines for hard disk partitioning. It is assumed that readers have comprehensive knowledge about Linux file systems, RAID, LVM and disk partitioning. This chapter does not cover basic partitioning requirements, e.g. configuring boot and swap partitions are not covered.
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 100% of space for OS installation, mount point “/” (LV1) Physical volume on RAID5 has two logical volumes o 80% of space for databases, mount point /opt/7signal/databases (LV2) o 20% of space for database log files, mount point /opt/7signal/databaselogs (LV3) Sapphire installation o Sapphire components are installed to /opt/7signal (on LV1) o Sapphire databases are installed to /opt/7signal/databases (on LV2) and database logs are directed to /opt/7signal/databas
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 9 Mount Sapphire Eye in the most centralized location of the WLAN area. Eye can be installed on the ceiling, wall or mast.
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 10 On top of Eye unit there are three slots for screws. Insert screws (Pan Head Stainless Screw, DIN 7985 M5x12) on top of the Eye unit. The head of the screw is supposed to have few millimeters of space between the inserts on the unit top. Mount the install plate on the ceiling (pictured right below). Mount the Eye unit in the roof mounting plate by inserting the screw tops into the plate holes. Make sure that the marking ‘CABLE’ is pointed towards connectors.
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 11 There are three elliptical holes in the wall-mount mechanics. Mount the Eye unit by pushing the screws on top of the unit through the wall-mount mechanics. From the top-side of the mechanics use the nuts to attach the unit to the mechanics. 4.3.3 Pole Install (optional) In pole install, the wall-mount is attached to any pole by using mechanics. Screw the provided back plate to the wall-mount mechanics. Push the U bar through the back plate.
4 Installing 7signal Sapphire 12 The Site Survey results are valuable for Eye location estimation. The Eye location is good if the Site Survey heat map shows >-80dBm signal level from all the access points. The Site Survey results are valuable for Eye location selection Verify the signal levels also from the far end access points 7signal Ltd, Panuntie 6, FI-00620 HELSINKI, FINLAND, +358 40 777 7611, info@7signal.com, www.7signal.com 7signal Sapphire Deployment Guide Release 3.1 4.3.

7 Log Settings 52 All 7signal Sapphire elements have logging capability. 7.1 Carat server log The log file - server.log - is located in /opt/7signal/Carat/7signal. The directory contains older log files as well named server.log.* where by default the asterisk (*) is in range of 1..5. Altogether, there is one active log file named server.log and five files for circulating the files. The oldest logs do get overwritten.
7 Log Settings 53 NOTE: as this is Eye logging, all the commands are to be given in the prompt of the monitoring station, not in Carat or Sonar server. The Eye unit has an in-memory circular log that can be followed real-time with the following command: # logread -f Without any arguments the command shows of the whole log and returns immediately: # logread The logging can be directed to rotating log files instead of the ring buffer with 7config log – command.

11 Command-line tool for database management 75 NOTE: the volume estimates are estimates and vary based on the configuration. 11.6.1 Eye – Sonar From To Medium Eye Sonar WLAN Sonar Eye WLAN Traffic motivator Automated test engine and interactive testing by users. Volume estimate Low, each request is a few hundred bytes. Responses to client. Typically pseudo-data that varies based on the test parameters. Eye acts as one WLAN end-user would do, one operation per minute.
11 Command-line tool for database management 76 Naturally the number of Eyes is directionally proportional the traffic load as each Eye connection are independent and concurrent. One single Eye typically executes a test in one minute in the average. However, there are tests that finish in 10 seconds (practical minimum) and few tests run few minutes. The communication protocol is both minimal and binary so the traffic from Carat to Eye is very economic.
