Driver description
Read the following drivers description, if you are going to use the Intel AMT
technology in Windows environment.
MEI
The Intel AMT Management Engine Interface (MEI) is the interface between the
host and the Intel Management Engine (ME). The Intel AMT MEI is bi-directional,
and either the host or the Intel AMT firmware can initiate transactions. In addition,
transactions can be completed asynchronously by the Intel AMT ME and then
synchronized later.
LMS
Local Manageability Service (LMS) is a service that runs locally (in the user space)
in the host operating system. LMS exposes AMT functionality through standard
interfaces (for example: general-info interface, firmware update interface, local
agent-presence interface, and so on.) LMS is an abstraction that sits on top of the
HECI driver (and the ME) that interacts with the ME using standard interfaces.
LMS listens for the request directed to the AMT local host. When an application
sends SOAP/HTTP message addressed to the local host, then LMS intercepts the
request and routes the request to the Management Engine Interface through the
HECI driver.
SOL
Serial Over LAN (SOL) driver is an Intel AMT ME driver. This driver enables the
remote display of managed client user interface through management console and
emulates serial communication over a standard network connection.
