Description

erase <all> <reboot> Erases the running system configuration file. Rebooting the IAP resets it to the factory default configuration. If you specify all, the configuration and all data in the IAP databases are erased.
memory Saves the current system configuration to memory. Any configuration changes made during this session will be made permanent.

The IAP returns the following messages:

Do you really want to reset the system(y/n): y

System will now restart!

...

Restarting system.
