Direct Access Self-Defining Parameter

The presence of the Direct Access ID self-defining parameter indicates that the auxiliary device can be accessed directly by using the destination/origin structured field. When multiple auxiliary devices are supported that use a product-defined data stream, separate Product-Defined Data Stream query replies must be provided, each of which has a unique DOID.
