• Icon, Model name (required), and SKU (optional).
• Authentication method (e.g. Cloud ID) and Communication protocol (e.g. HTTPS).
• Device type (e.g. Physical) and XYTE API Version.
• Offline detection threshold — the number of minutes without data after which a device is marked offline (between 1 and 99,999).
• Enabled tabs in device view — choose which tabs appear on the device: Configuration, State, Details, Telemetries, Events, and Files.
• Suggested commands — pre-select common commands to offer on the device: Reboot, Upgrade Firmware, and Request Dump.
• Let users claim this model in the claiming dialog — make the model available for claiming.
• Allow org users to edit serial number after claiming.
• Display device setup information to enable claiming — show setup instructions required to claim the device.

Models for child devices

A child device takes its communication protocol from its own model, not from its parent. When creating a model for child devices, choose the same Communication protocol as the parent's model, or commands to the children won't reach the parent.
