Enter up to 16 ASCII characters to specify the initialization string. Non-displayable
ASCII characters are specified in caret-character (^character) format. For example,
specify ^M^J for Ctrl-M and Ctrl-J. The literal caret (^) and backslash (\) are
escaped with a backslash. This field is optional and the default is empty.
If specified, the initialization string is the string to be sent to the connected terminal
or printer port immediately after one of the following tasks:
• resetting a port
• closing a session on a host and returning to the DTC user interface
• logging into a system and typing the escape from data transfer character
• establishing a connection to the DTC user interface for modem connections:
the initialization string is sent when all the modem signals are up.
