"Reset Your Receiver" online

I was just poking around my account at the D* site and noticed something I hadn't seen before. On the left side there is a tab Latest News - New. I thought it would just be a note telling how to do a RBR or pull the power but apparently it is a way to select which of your receivers you want D* to resend the authorization codes to. Check the receiver and click "Reset". I wonder if this does anything different than the RBR. It says it takes 3 to 5 minutes to reset do I assume it does a reboot and not just sends the authorization codes. Anyone tried this yet?
