# Creating an M3UA SAP

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

Once an M3UA configuration is created, you must create a new M3UA service access point (SAP) for your system. The SAP is an identifying label for endpoints in the network.

To create an M3UA SAP:

1- Click **M3UA** in the navigation panel:

![CreateM3ua 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/7/7b/CreateM3ua_0.png)

2- Click **Create New M3ua Sap** in the M3UA configuration panel

![Create M3UA SAP 0](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/a/a0/Create_M3UA_SAP_0.png)

3- Configure the new SAP:

* Enter a **name** for the SAP
* Select an **Unit** to use
* Select an **SCTP source port**
* Click **Create**

![Create M3UA SAP 1](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/e/e1/Create_M3UA_SAP_1.png)

4- Verify that the **"M3ua Sap was successfully created"** message appears

![Create M3UA SAP 2](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/4/4c/Create_M3UA_SAP_2.png)

5- Associate an IP interface with the new SAP:

* Select an available **IP interface**
* Click the\*\*"<<"\*\* button to associate the interface with the SAP

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/web-portal-3-3/protocol-stack/sccp-tcap/creating-an-m3ua-sap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
