  Text Console [[image:1663622220065-810.png]] is one of the most important tools in the Crestron Toolbox. Whenever the Chief Integrations' ShowRunnerCLC™ Startup Guide mentions "sending console commands," the Text Console is the tool that is required.

  File Manager [[image:1663622340028-319.png]] is an essential tool for transferring files to and from the processor. While the ShowRunnerCLC™ license and configuration files can be loaded through the ShowRunnerHUB™ Web UI, it is still sometimes necessary to use the File Manager tool in certain circumstances (e.g., an Ethernet connection to the device cannot be established or for transferring files that aren't supported through the Web UI, such as custom ShowRunner™ extensions).

--Network Device Tree View [[image:1663622313939-259.png]] is a useful tool for addressing devices and resolving certain issues with networked hardware. See our [[device addressing>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.Device Addressing.Addressing Devices from Toolbox.WebHome||anchor="HNetworkDeviceTreeView"]] page for specific instructions on how to use the Network Device Tree View for device addressing.

  == Script Manager ==
--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.
++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.
--To use a Load Script with the Load Script Manager:
--
--* Open the Load Script Manager in Toolbox
--* Right-click anywhere in the Load Script Manager, select "Load Script...", and locate your Load Script .txt file
--* The window will populate with all of the different command sets defined in the Load Script
--** Ensure that you are connected to your devices by the method required based on the connection type listed in the "Connection" column
--** This example script is expecting to connect to devices over Ethernet using their hostname
--[[image:sm1.png||height="218" width="954"]]
--* 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
--** 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
--** If commands are currently running, you can cancel them using this right-click menu as well
--[[image:sm2.png]]
--* While commands are running, their current status and progress are displayed under the various columns displayed in the Script Manager
--[[image:sm3.png||height="189" width="835"]]
--* Once a command section has executed all commands, it will display the success or failure of the commands
--** In this example, all of the commands failed for different reasons:
--** ZUMNET-JBOX-16A-LV-F2D94E commands failed due to the firmware file specified by the script not being in the correct location
--** 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
--** The remaining command sections were manually cancelled before they could complete

  == Package Update Tool ==
  The Package Update Tool [[image:1663622297411-164.png]] is a very convenient way of [[performing firmware updates>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Updating Firmware.WebHome||anchor="HPackageUpdateTool28.puf29"]] for networked devices and [[loading the ShowRunnerCLC™ program>>doc:SHOWRUNNER™ Setup Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation Guide.SHOWRUNNER™ Installation and Network Setup.Processor Setup.WebHome||anchor="HProgramLoad"]] to processors.
