The subject disclosure pertains to systems and methods for connecting pipeline components such as data flow pipeline components. The process involves establishing a PPP2 link with the IWF in response to detecting a mobile IP data session request from the UT, detecting a PPP1 link with the UT in response to the PPP2 link being established, detecting that a PPP2 link failure has occurred, and reconfiguring at least one of the WCD and the UT to an initial state. For this purpose, the load-sensing arrangement of at least one valve module has a pressure influencing arrangement that differs from a pressure influencing arrangement of a load sensing arrangement of another valve module.
