Hi,

Direct advertising is a special-purpose type of advertising, designed to invite a specific peer device to connect as quickly as possible. It contains the address of both the advertising device and the device being invited to connect. The advertising is discoverable for the "device being invited to connect".

what are the steps to configure direct advertising mode?

 This is handled by the Advertising Module. Take a look at how this is done in e.g. the examples ble_app_hids_keyboard or ble_app_cgms. In keyboard example, it will do High Duty Directed advertising if you disconnect with a bonded peer. And on startup it will do whitelist advertising, if you have bonded with the device.
