256 -Load Scripts are .txt files that allow you to automate certain tasks by connecting to a device and executing a predetermined sequence of commands, and the Script Manager [[image:1663622272369-417.png]] is where Load Scripts can be opened and executed.
256 +The Script Manager [[image:1663622272369-417.png]] is where Load Scripts can be opened and specific sets of commands executed. Load Scripts are .txt files that allow you to automate certain tasks by connecting to a device and executing a predetermined sequence of commands, and are a powerful tool to save time on-site when you need to run the same or similar set of commands on many devices.

258 +To use a Load Script with the Load Script Manager:
259 +
260 +* Open the Load Script Manager in Toolbox
261 +* Right-click anywhere in the Load Script Manager, select "Load Script...", and locate your Load Script .txt file
262 +* The window will populate with all of the different command sets defined in the Load Script
263 +** Ensure that you are connected to your devices by the method required based on the connection type listed in the "Connection" column
264 +** This example script is expecting to connect to devices over Ethernet using their hostname
265 +[[image:sm1.png||height="218" width="954"]]
266 +* Select the command sets you would like to execute by ctrl+clicking or shift+clicking them and then right-click and "Start Selected" to begin executing the commands
267 +** If no commands are currently running, the "Start All" option will also be available. Note that the number of concurrent command sections may be limited by the load script, so even if "Start All" is selected there may only be e.g. 10 command sets that actually start
268 +** If commands are currently running, you can cancel them using this right-click menu as well
269 +[[image:sm2.png]]
270 +* While commands are running, their current status and progress are displayed under the various columns displayed in the Script Manager
271 +[[image:sm3.png||height="189" width="835"]]
272 +* Once a command section has executed all commands, it will display the success or failure of the commands
273 +** In this example, all of the commands failed for different reasons:
274 +** ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV-F2D94E commands failed due to the firmware file specified by the script not being in the correct location
275 +** The commands which failed due to an "unknown error" failed because they weren't reachable at the specified connection address due to some quirks with this specific LAN configuration
276 +** The remaining command sections were manually cancelled before they could complete
