it directly, this menu command is grayed out in the second window and can only be accessed
in the window that was opened first.

The import assigns the data created for a device of network by the export to XML files to an
existing device or network. You can select these XML files as the import file.
Import file

or network.
As soon as you enter the import file (parameter import file or structure import file), a device
type consistency check is performed automatically. You can find information on this in the
section "Importing configuration and parameter assignment data (Page 120)".
