3. The **Import Package Wizard** opens with details about your connections. If your connection number is unique in the system, the **Next** and **Finish** buttons are enabled. If it is a duplicate, **Finish** is disabled because the wizard needs more input. If **Finish** is enabled, selecting it imports the connection without further action.

4. If you select **Next**, the next page lets you validate the identifier for the connection. If the connection identifier is unique in the system, **Next** and **Finish** are enabled. If it is a duplicate, two options are available:
