arm start
A warm start will force the unit to reboot and reload the stored configuration.
Since this will interrupt any service passing through the unit (for approximately 15
seconds), confirmation is required.
Any changes to the configuration that have not been saved will be lost, so the user is
prompted to save.
When a Telnet or SSH user issues a warm start request, the unit will indicate that a
warm start is about to take place, and then close the connection.

old Start
A Cold Start will restart the unit, return all but a very few configuration settings to
factory default values or those selected on the bit-switches, and save these settings,
thus erasing any that were previously stored.
Note: A cold start will erase all IP addresses and routing table entries and it is highly
likely that remote access will be lost following a cold start.
Due to the drastic nature of a cold start, the command requires user confirmation.
Note: The cold start will not clear the provider id used by the ZTC beacon system.
