The LANCOM can manage multiple simultaneous script sessions. Just as multiple console sessions can be run simultaneously on a single device, different scripts can also access the LANCOM at the same time. Parallel script sessions are especially useful in the following scenarios:
- Script initiates a time-delayed reboot of the device after 30 minutes, for example. A second script is active during the device's run time and changes its configuration for test purposes; the flash mode is deactivated for this. If the changes in configuration from script make the device unattainable, then the restart prompted by script 30 minutes later causes these changes to be rejected.
- When using different scripts for partial configurations, multiple scripts can started simultaneously, for example with cron jobs. The individual configuration tasks do not need to be delayed until the previous script has completed its processing.
