UniPro calls a pair of CPorts that communicate with each other a connectionConnection (hence the C in CPort). Setting up a connection means that one CPort has been initialized to create segments which are addressed to a specific L4 CPort of a specific L3 DeviceID using a particular L2 Traffic Class. Because UniPro connections are bidirectional, the destination CPort is also configured to allow data to be sent back to the source CPort.
In UniPro 1.0/1.1 connection setup is implementation specific.
In UniPro 1.0/1.1 connection setup is assumed to be relatively static: the settings of the paired CPorts in somehow made to match (e.g. hardcoded in firmware within both devices or communicated by proprietary means). This will be replaced by a conventional (dynamic) connection management protocol in a future version of UniPro.▼
