Once the system reboots, it changes from Intel AMT In-Setup phase to Operational phase. Now, the system can be remotely

managed through the WebGUI or a remote console and can be provided to the end-user for regular use.

Using the WebGUI

The WebGUI 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 WebGUI indicates proper Intel AMT setup and configuration on the

remote system.

The WebGUI 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
