Using NodeUtil
M – Change Device Mode or State
Use this command to change the selected device’s mode or state. You can reset
the device, change the application mode to online or offline, or change the device
state to applicationless, unconfigured, configured, or hard offline.
If the device is a router, you can also set the router type to configured, learning,
bridge, or repeater.

Use this command to display or update a selected network variable configuration
table entry or the entire network variable configuration table of the selected
