Dial return to default value?

Hello,

I'm very new to Max. But I managed to build a MIDI CC sending thing to control some external gear which I have not found a good implementation for. So what I want to achieve is to be able to initialize the patch from Ableton on the device. I.e. sending the default values.

On Ableton devices the menu "Return to default" appears whenever I change a parameter on the dial:

However even though I set the "inital" value on my Dial in Max, this menu does not appear. How can I achieve the same functionality? Do I need to set some extra parameters somewhere? Also this is how I setup my dials:

Thanks, unfortunately this did not work. But also this is not what I would like to do. I need the device to keep its values unless the user changes them. When I set the "initial enabled" Ableton sends out the default value once the user drags in the device which then can "ruin" the patch on the hardware.
