Ok, we are progressing. I did create a support case, as suggested by Fabio. 
It's case # 447666

I get a little further, but now it also seems that the command have also 
changed

Now my log shows :

When I connect manually, here are the commands availaible :

bkLowLoad   bkNearOver  bkOverLoad  bkReading   bkRestrictn devLowLoad
devNearOver devOverLoad devReading  devStartDly humLow      humMin
humReading  olCancelCmd olDlyOff    olDlyOn     olDlyReboot olGroups
olName      olOff       olOffDelay  olOn        olOnDelay   olRbootTime
olReboot    olStatus    phLowLoad   phNearOver  phOverLoad  phReading
phRestrictn prodInfo    sensorName  tempHigh    tempMax     tempReading
userList    whoami


So the command to send would be :

olReboot node101

Like so :

-------------------------
apc>olReboot node101
E000: Success

apc>
-------------------------

and then "quit" to logout.
