OpenELEC on Raspberry PI 3 Tethered Access Point

I setup OpenELEC on Raspberry PI 3 as  a Tethered Access Point. But connecting to this AP is pointless, there is no dhcp server running or anything that lets me communicate. Is this AP just supposed to bridge to the NIC port or can I use it standalone to access OpenElec via the AP?

openelec is not a standalone server and it includes kodi for media streaming.

In kodi, you will need a Tethered Access Point and openelec serves the purpose.

Thank you for the correction, but I already know how to turn on the tethered access point. The difference between Kodi and OpenELEC isn't really the issue here either.

My problem is that when I connect to it with Wifi, there is no communication protocol established. The Wifi interface ends up with an APIPA address.

The article says (have seen it before by the way): "Believe it or not, you are done!"
But as I say, there is no talking with OpenELEC: http://openelec.tv/forum/69-network/81238-raspberry-pi-3-wifi-tethering-query
