link up

Establish a connection

Link up means to connect or join together, often for a specific purpose.

People link up when they meet or coordinate: Let's link up later this week.

Systems or networks link up when they become connected: The two rail lines finally linked up.

The phrase suggests establishing a connection that wasn't there before—whether physical, social, or technological.
