U-Frames coding
 
The unnumbered (U) format commands and responses are used to extend the number of 
data link control functions. The unnumbered format frames have 5 modifier bits which 
allow for up to 32 additional commands and responses. Only a subset of the HDLC 
commands and responses are used for SHDLC: 
 
RSET: Reset of the data link layer is used to reset the sequence number variables in the 
both endpoints. 
UA: Unnumbered Acknowledgment is used to acknowledge the receipt and acceptance 
of a RSET command.

7.4.3.3  RSET Frame  
 
The RSET co
mmand is used to reset the link status. The behavior is the same as 
described in the respective SWP specification [2].

WARNING:       Before initiating an HCI communication with PN544, at Power up, 
or after a Reset (VEN), it is mandatory to send a RSET frame. The recommended 
frame is defined in the following figure:
