Hello, at a minimum you will need to configure network information in the form of IP, subnet mask and gateway.&nbsp; If you aren't using VLAN's, then all of those parameters would exist on VLAN 1.&nbsp; When you add a new L3 interface, enter in VLAN 1, then supply the IP information.&nbsp; Now, when you try to access the AP, you will need to be on the same subnet as the AP (for ease, set the IP address of your computer 1 higher than the AP).&nbsp; For example, if the AP is configured for 192.168.100.1, 255.255.255.0, 192.168.100.254, set your IP to be 192.168.100.2, mask of 255.255.255.0.

This link will get you the basic setup (steps 5 and 6):&nbsp;[http://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t5/cnPilot-E-Series-Enterprise-APs/How-to-configure-ePMP-1000-hotspot-e400-e500-to-make-it/m-p/60383#M46](https://community.cambiumnetworks.com/t/how-to-configure-epmp-1000-hotspot-e400-e500-to-make-it-operational/47594)
