# Introduction

Hamina Network Planner and Planner Plus integrate with multiple Wi-Fi infrastructure vendors, either through API integrations or file exports to enable importing, exporting, and Live viewing of Wi-Fi networks.

## Import

The Import function enables Hamina to import a wireless network, including the map, scale, and access points. Importing a network is useful for viewing the current network configuration, experimenting with changes to the network, or performing planning for new access points or major configuration changes.

{% hint style="success" %}
For supported vendors, importing a network to Hamina Network Planner Plus also automatically enables the **Live View** in the project.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
In the case of importing an OpenIntent file, Hamina will import a network design, either exported by Hamina Network Planner or another design tool. See [OpenIntent](/hamina/live/openintent.md) for details.
{% endhint %}

To import a project into Hamina Network Planner:

1. Select the **Projects Menu**, point to the project, and select **Import**.<br>

2. The **Import** window will appear, where you can select a source to import from. See the vendor and source-specific pages in the [Import, Export, and Live View](/hamina/live/introduction.md) section for details.

{% hint style="warning" %}
In some cases, vendor databases do not differentiate between internal and external antenna models. In these cases, Hamina Network Planner always maps to the internal antenna model.
{% endhint %}

## Export

The Export function enables Hamina to export a wireless network design, including the map, scale, and access points. Exporting a network is useful for deploying a network design directly to infrastructure, without having to repeat any mapping or placement work outside of Hamina. It is also useful for remediation or making changes, as subsequent exports can move or replace access points.

To export a project from Hamina Network Planner:

1. Select the **Projects Menu**, point to the project, and select **Export**.<br>

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/XamUvxuOyD3pJKgLKe0b" alt="" width="385"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

2. The **Export** window will appear, where you can select a destination to export to. See the vendor and source-specific pages in the [Import, Export, and Live View](/hamina/live/introduction.md) section for details.

### Export Notes

#### Map Rotation

Maps rotated in Hamina Network Planner won't be rotated in the vendor infrastructure. If you need to rotate the map and export to vendor infrastructure, we recommend rotating the image in an image editor before uploading it to Hamina.

## Live View

The Live View function imports the wireless network to Hamina Network Planner Plus to enable live monitoring of the network in the **Live** tab.

Unlike a network that has been imported to the **Simulation** tab, no modifications can be made in the Live tab. However, it is possible to make changes in the Simulation tab, and use the Export function to push the changes to the infrastructure, which will then immediately appear in the Live View.

See the [Live View](/hamina/live/live-view.md) for more information.
