DLREQUEST_INIT_MODE

Set initialization mode. Initialization mode is a non-operational mode used in an application specific manner to perform initialization and configuration tasks, usually with the exchange of unnumbered information frames (unit data). When this request completes, a DLCONFIRM_INIT_MODE primitive is generated. On successful completion, the link state is DLSTATE_INIT_MODE, otherwise it is DLSTATE_RELEASED.

The application sets the Flags member of the request to control the method of setting initialization mode. DLFLAG_SIM (used only by combined and primary stations) causes the link to send SIM (set initialization mode) commands to the peer. If DLFLAG_SIM is not set, the station to send a RIM (request initialization mode) to the peer at the next respond opportunity, requesting the peer to set initialization mode.
