Connection Establishment Process

A typical connection establish and release routine (algorithm) is as follows. You do not have an option regarding the sequence of these events, with the exception of step 4. (Refer to Figure 6-1 “Connection Establishment Process”.)

Activate ftam_init (using ft_aeactivation()).
Establish the connection (using ft_connect()) between ftam_init and the responder. Note that during the life of the ftam_init, you can establish and release connections arbitrarily.
Use FTAM operations as needed.
Release the connection (using ft_rrequest()). Alternatively, you can use one of the following functions:
- ft_aereset() to release all active connections for that ftam_init.
- ft_abort() used at any time aborts a connection.
Deactivate ftam_init (using ft_aedeactivation()).
NOTE: This chapter does not explain the parameter structures. For detailed structure information (parameter settings), refer to the "FTAM Data Structures" chapter.
