The device config options are: Role, Serial Output, and Debug Log. Device config uses an admin message sending a `Config.Device` protobuf.
## Device Config Values
### Role
Sets the role of node.
Acceptable values:
| Value | Description |
| :-------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `CLIENT` | Client (default) - App connected client. |
| `CLIENT_MUTE` | Client Mute - Same as a client except packets will not hop over this node, does not contribute to routing packets for mesh. |
| `ROUTER` | Router - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. This node will not be used by client apps. The wifi/ble radios and the oled screen will be put to sleep. |
| `ROUTER_CLIENT` | Router Client - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. The Router Client can be used as both a Router and an app connected Client. |
### Serial Console
Acceptable values: `true` or `false`
Disabling this will disable the SerialConsole by not initilizing the StreamAPI
### Debug Log
Acceptable values: `true` or `false`
By default we turn off logging as soon as an API client connects Set this to true to leave the debug log outputting even when API is active.
