and set parameters you want:

[admin@nodegrid {devices}]# set

address_location=                            flow_control=

allow_binary_socket=                       icon=

allow_ssh_protocol=                         mode=

allow_telnet_protocol=                      multisession=

baud_rate=                                      parity=

coordinates=                                    power_control_key=

data_logging=                                  read-write_multisession=

enable_data_logging_alerts=             show_text_information=

enable_hostname_detection=             skip_authentication_to_access_device=

enable_ip_alias=                               ssh_port=

escape_sequence=                            telnet_port=

 

once all parameters are configured, type:
