This ACTION sets up a point-to-point connection between two non-connected subnetworkTPs in the each of the linked atmSubnetworks. The subnetworkTPs are identified either directly or indirectly with a set of descriptors providing VPI/VCI, traffic descriptors, QOS, etc. An error condition is raised if the termination points are incorrect, already used, do not have matching traffic descriptors, or if atmLink is unable to provide sufficient bandwidth or is locked. Objects (such as atmSubnetwork, atmLink, or managedElement, etc) may be referenced by the routeDescriptionList as being excluded, mandatory, or preferred. If an object is described as mandatory it must be used in setting up a new connection. An attempt must be made during setup to include an object described as preferred. An excluded object must not be used in a connection. Connection type objects (such as atmTrail, atmSubnetworkConnection, etc) may be referenced by the routeDescriptionList as same route or diverse route. A new connection being created shall follow the same route as a sameRoute referenced object. A new connection must follow a different route than a referenced object referred to as diverseRoute. Input: Id of endpoints or descriptors of the endpoints: interfaceId (serverTTPId, atmLink, atmLinkTP, or atmSubnetwork), VPI, VCI, trafficDescriptors, and QOS. The connectionType for an atmLinkConnection must be point-to-point. Output: Ids of new atmLinkConnection and associated atmSubnetworkTPs. (+ atmLinkId) Errors: protocol-specific addressing errors, incorrectTerminationPoints, atmLinkLocked, atmSubnetworkTPConnected, non-matchingDescriptors, operationFails. Results: Creation of atmSubnetworkTPs and an associated atmLinkConnection.
