Update the location data
The location submodule takes a snapshot of the current location and stores it in the runtime
database. You can update this snapsot:
1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user,
and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the IX30 local command line as a user
with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.

Python session:
