Learn how to Export maps and AP locations from Hamina Network Planner to ExtremeCloud IQ.

Hamina Network Planner includes integration with ExtremeCloud IQ, which can be used to export from Hamina Network Planner to ExtremeCloud IQ.

ExtremeCloud IQ Connect does not support API access. ExtremeCloud IQ Pilot is required.

The Export function rapidly deploys a new site, or updates an existing site directly from Hamina Network Planner. This removes the need for any repeat map-based deployment work - all of the mapping work is automatically copied directly from Hamina Network Planner.

Importing from ExtremeCloud IQ to Hamina Network Planner is not currently supported by Extreme Networks.

Generating an API Token

There are two keys that you can use to authenticate Hamina Network Planner to ExtremeCloud IQ:

• A bearer token, which will expire. For more information, consult Extreme's API key generation documentation.

• A Developer API Key, which can be configured to not expire.

We recommend creating a Developer API Key for ExtremeCloud IQ, which can have a much longer duration.

Generating a Developer API Token

Creating the Developer API token requires two steps:

1. Authenticate with a username and password to generate a bearer token.

2. Perform an API call with the bearer token to generate the Developer API token.

To simplify the process, ExtremeCloud IQ Key Retriever can use your username and password to get a bearer token, and perform the API call to generate a full-access Developer API token that does not expire.

The web application runs locally in your browser with JavaScript, and the source code is available for viewing.

This tool generates a full-access token. As with any API token, be sure to transport and store it safely.

Exporting from Hamina to Extreme IQ

There are two primary ways to export from Hamina to Extreme:

• Choose Matched access points and Unmatched access points. In this case, Hamina will randomly assign access points to the map, with respect for each model.

• Choose Match names to APs before the export. This gives you precise control over exactly which AP goes where.

To match names to APs:

1. Name the access points in Extreme IQ.

2. Use identical names for access points in Hamina Network Planner.

3. Check Matched access points, also Unmatched access points, and Assign unmatched access points by name in Hamina Network Planner.

4. Export from Hamina Network Planner to Extreme.
