289 289  Network Device Tree View [[image:1663622313939-259.png]] is a useful tool for addressing devices and resolving certain issues with networked hardware. Below are just some general tips for using the tool; 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.

291 +Initial configuration:
292 +
293 +* When opening Network Device Tree View, we recommend making certain changes to the type of information displayed
294 +* These changes can be made once you are connected to a device by right-clicking and selecting the "Show Configuration Dialog" option:
295 +** Displaying the Serial Number and TSID is useful for easily identifying devices and determining whether specific devices are online or not
296 +** Displaying the Network ID is useful for easily identifying whether devices have been addressed or not
297 +** Displaying the Net Type is somewhat optional, as it should be apparent whether devices are connected via Cresnet, zummesh, etc. based on the model of device you are connected to
298 +** Displaying Status is also optional, as this information is also displayed in the form of a colored icon next to the device model
299 +[[image:ndtv_settings.png||height="317" width="565"]]
300 +* These configuration changes are saved per device type, so once they are made they will not need to be made again unless you are connecting to a new type of device for the first time (e.g. changes made while connected to a DIN-AP4 will apply to all DIN-AP4s, but will not apply to any DIN-CENCN-2s you may connect to later)

293 293  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.
