When the process is completed successfully, the connection status is Not Provisioned until it’s accepted by Unitas Global. Once the connection is accepted, the connection is automatically provisioned within Equinix Fabric and the connection status changes to Provisioned.

The new connection can now be viewed or modified at any time by selecting the connection in Inventory.
