Using Python to upload the device name to Digi Remote Manager

The name submodule can be used to upload a custom name for your device to Digi Remote Manager.
When you use the name submodule to upload a custom device name to Remote Manager, the
following issues apply:
If the name is being used by to another device in your Remote Manager account, the name will
n
be removed from the previous device and added to the new device.
If Remote Manager is configured to apply a profile to a device based on the device name,
n
changing the name of the device may cause Remote Manager to automatically push a profile
onto the device.
Together, these two features allow you to swap one device for another by using the name submodule
to change the device name, while guaranteeing that the new device will have the same configuration
as the previous one.
Note Because causing a profile to be automatically pushed from Remote Manager may change the
behavior of the device, including overwriting existing usernames and passwords, the name submodule
should be used with caution. As a result, support for this functionality is disabled by default on Remote
Manager.
