Orb for Hamina Live View

Integrate Orb with Hamina Planner to enrich client statistics in Live View with real-time network experience data directly from the device. This integration displays Orb Score and lag measurements for Orb-equipped client devices alongside your network infrastructure data.

What is Hamina Network Planner?

Hamina Network Planner is a professional Wi-Fi planning and optimization tool used by network engineers to design, deploy, and manage wireless networks. The Live View feature provides real-time visibility into network performance and client connectivity.

Features

When you integrate Orb with Hamina Live View, you gain:

• Enriched Client Statistics: See Orb connectivity data alongside network metrics from your supported equipment vendor
• Orb Score Display: View the Orb Score for each client device running Orb
• Unified View: Combine Orb's end-user experience metrics with Hamina's infrastructure analysis
• Real-time Data: Live streaming of Orb device data into your Hamina projects

Requirements

Before setting up the integration, ensure you have:

• A Hamina Network Planner Plus subscription
• A Hamina project with Live View enabled
• An Orb Cloud Business or Enterprise subscription
• Admin access to your Orb Cloud account

5. Click the Create button.

6. In the API Keys section, the new key will appear. Click on it to copy it to the clipboard.

Step 2: Configure Hamina Live View

1. Open a project that is already connected to network infrastructure. If you haven't set up the Live View, see Live View (Beta) for more information.
2. In the Projects menu, select the current project, and select Live analysis settings from the menu.

3. The Integration Settings window will appear. Click the blue Continue button.

5. The Integration Settings window will display the current connected network infrastructure and location settings. At the bottom under Add a connection, paste in your Orb API key, select an Organization, and click the blue Connect button.

Using the Integration

To view the Orb Score or associated statistics from an Orb-equipped client device, activate the Live Clients tool in the toolbar. The View Clients pane will appear, showing all of the clients on the network. Any client equipped with Orb will show an Orb Score.

Select a client with an Orb Score, and the Client Details window will appear on the map next to the client.

As usual, the Client Details window will show statistics from the network infrastructure vendor, but it will be augmented with information from Orb.
