When doing a UI summon or API connection request on a device, is it possible to override the connection URL used (Device.ManagementServer.ConnectionRequestURL), or set that parameter first beforehand?

In many instances, a CPE has dropped offline and then comes back online with a new DHCP leased IP, but the periodic inform time hasn’t come back around yet for Genie to be told the new info to connect on meaning Summon / Connection Request fails.
