## <a name="#managed"></a>Can I configure a managed mode AP without using the UI?
Let's assume you are creating a Raspbian image (or other supported OS) with scripts that setup RaspAP at first startup. In this scenario, to configure a managed mode AP, you must manually connect via a browser, make some changes via the UI and then save your settings. This can be also be done programmatically. Assuming you have [wpa_supplicant.conf fully populated](#headless-mode), set the following values in `/etc/raspap/hostapd.ini`:
```
LogEnable = 0
WifiAPEnable = 1
BridgedEnable = 0
WifiManaged = wlan0
```
substituting `wlan0` for your AP interface, if necessary. You may then restart the raspap daemon with `sudo systemctl restart raspapd.service`.
