Old question, but I put an answer here as I had problems finding the answer to the same question.
First however, question yourself if you really want to enable SSH as it makes the phone vulnerable, e.g. to DOS attacks. Best security practice is to never enable any features that could be avoided. I used it for debugging my installation and have now turned off it again.
I enabled SSH by putting the following lines in the SEPmac.cnf.xml file on the TFTP server (where mac is the MAC address of the phone):
<!-- The two following lines should be in the device section -->
<sshUserId>My_UserID</sshUserId> <!-- Replace My_UserID with a suitable user ID -->
<sshPassword>My_Password</sshPassword> <!-- Replace My_Password with a suitable password -->
<sshAccess>0</sshAccess> <!-- Enable SSH = 0, this line should be in the vendorConfig section -->
