##############################

*Start OpenThread stack manually*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    If enabled, OpenThread stack will have to be configured and
    started manually, with respective API calls or CLI/NCP commands.
    Otherwise, OpenThread will configure the network parametrs and try to
    join the Thread network automatically during initialization (using
    credentials stored in persistend storage, obtained during
    commissioning or pre-commissioned with other Kconfig options,
    depending on configuration used).
