Using the Web UI

The WebUI is a browser-based interface that provides limited support for remote system

management. It is often used to verify that Intel AMT setup and configuration has been

performed properly on a system. Obtaining a successful connection between a remote

system and the system running the WebUI indicates proper Intel AMT setup and

configuration on the remote system.

The WebUI is accessible from the following web browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 SP1 or newer

• Mozilla Firefox

Remote system management capabilities include:

• Hardware inventory

• Event logging

• Remote system reset

• Updating network settings

• Adding new users and passwords

• Updating ME firmware

WebUI support is enabled by default for Manual mode setup and configuration.

Connecting with the WebUI in Manual mode

1 Power on an Intel AMT system that is in its operational phase.

2 Invoke a web browser on a separate system (such as a management PC) that is on the

same subnet as the Intel AMT system.

3 Connect to the Intel AMT system using the IP address and port specified in the MEBx.

• By default, the port is 16992

• If DHCP has been specified, then use the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for

the ME, which is a combination of the hostname and domain as in the following

examples:

à IPv4 address: http://172.20.5.218:16992

à Host names (see Host Name in Step 10 of AMT Configuration above)

http://MCS-2040-AMT:16992

The remote system makes a TCP connection to the Intel AMT system and accesses the top-

level web page embedded within the ME.
