Introduction Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is a hardwarebased solution that uses out-of-band communication for basic management of client systems. Even with a crashed hard drive, a locked operating system, or if a system is turned off, access is still available to perform basic system management tasks. This guide contains basic Intel AMT configuration instructions and information on using a web browser to access an Intel AMT client system.
PAGE 4
Configuring an Intel AMT Client System for the First Time Before configuring the client system, have the following information available to configure Intel AMT properly: • A computer name In Microsoft Windows*, right-click My Computer, click Properties, and click the Computer Name tab. • Terminal Communication Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) settings In Windows, open the Control Panel, open Network Connections, and right click the connection and click Properties. Click TCP/IP and click Properties.

4. Select Host Name from the menu and type in the name for the Intel AMT client system. If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is going to be used to assign the TCP/IP Address, then the Host Name for the Intel AMT client should be the same name as the computer name defined in the operating system. Intel AMT may automatically change its Host Name to match the Microsoft Windows computer name if DHCP is enabled.

Using the Intel AMT Web Browser Interface Logging In From a Remote Console 1. On the remote console, open a web browser and enter the client computer name or IP address, and the port number. • Use the following, if the network can resolve the client system host name to a TCP/IP address: http://host_name:16992 Example: http://TestSystem:16992 • Use the following if a static TCP/IP address is defined for the Intel AMT client system: http://ip_address:16992 Example: http://192.168.1.7:16992 Figure 3.

Using the Intel AMT Web pages Click the links on the left to access the Intel AMT information pages. The padlock icon indicates areas where the current Intel AMT user does not have sufficient rights to view. If an attempt is made to access an area where the Intel AMT user doesn’t have sufficient rights, the browser will display a login dialog box. If another Intel AMT user account that has sufficient rights is used to login, the browser will then display the page.
PAGE 9
Hardware Pages These pages display information about the hardware installed in the computer. Intel AMT gets this information from the client system’s BIOS. Hardware changes will not be shown until after the client system is rebooted.
PAGE 10
Event Log Page This page displays the Intel AMT Event Log. The options at the bottom of the page can be used to stop and start the Event Log and clear all events from the log. Event Log Event Time Source Description Options Stop Logging Clear Log Figure 6.
PAGE 11
Remote Boot Page The Remote Boot page can be used to power cycle the client system, reset it, and power the system on or off. Boot options for the Intel AMT client system can also be specified. NOTE The options available on this page depend on the abilities of the client system. CAUTION These commands may cause data loss. They go directly to the system hardware and do not cause the operating system to shutdown gracefully.
PAGE 12
Network Settings Page The Network Settings page can be used to change the Intel AMT network settings made on the client system. Network Settings Configure the network settings used for Intel Active Management Technology. Computer host name: testsystem1 Obtain IP address automatically Use these settings: IP address: 192.168.1.7 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway address: 192.168.1.1 Domain name: Preferred DNS address: 192.168.1.
PAGE 13
Host Name: The Host Name is a name that can used to browse to this computer. In DHCP mode, use the same name as the one set in the operating system. In static IP mode, use a name different from the one set in the operating system. After changing the host name, click the Refresh button in the web browser to update the name in the banner at the top of the page Obtain IP address automatically: Intel AMT can automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.
PAGE 14
User Accounts Page Select User Accounts to change admin name and password used to access the Intel AMT configuration screen and web interface on the client system. CAUTION All passwords associated with the Intel Active Management Technology are NOT RECOVERABLE and cannot be reset without the original text. Both the user name and password are case sensitive. Make sure to note any capitalization changes in either field when defining or changing them.
PAGE 15
Troubleshooting I can ping the client system, but cannot connect using a web browser • Make sure you changed the client system’s default Administrator password in the Intel AMT BIOS. • Make sure you are using a valid user name and password. • Make sure that you are connecting to the correct http interface (http, not https) and the correct port (16992).
