# Creating MTP3 Links

> **Applies to:** Tmedia 3.0, 3.2, 3.3

Once you have created an MTP3 linkset, you must associate MTP3 links with it. This is because the MTP3 links are used to bind with either an MTP2, M2PA, or M2UA link; they are connected in a one-to-one fashion.

To create an MTP3 link:

1- Click **MTP3** in the navigation panel.

![Mtp3 0 A](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/9/9b/Mtp3_0_A.png)

2- Select an MTP3 network.

3- Select an MTP3 linkset

4- Click **Create New Mtp3 Link** in the MTP3 linkset configuration window

5- Configure the new MTP3 link:

* Enter a **name** for the link
* Under **Type of link to bind**, select **MTP2**
* Select an **MTP2 link**
* Click **Create**

![Create MTP3 Link 2](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/1/1d/Create_MTP3_Link_2.png)

6- Verify that the **"Mtp3Link was successfully created"** message appears and that the link appears in the Mtp3 Link list.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/creating-mtp3-links.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
