Management Technology at the hardware end.
An administrator at the Help Desk PC
accesses the AMT PCs. Only the AMT PCs must have an integrated Intel AMT.
The following figure shows the possible structure of a network for remote management on
the basis of SIMATIC AMT-PCs.
From a SIMATIC IPC which does not have Intel AMT functions, you can access networked
SIMATIC IPCs with Intel AMT using the SIMATIC IPC Remote Manager and/or a web
browser.
A SIMATIC IPC that supports AMT features two onboard Ethernet interfaces, each with a
separate controller. You can configure the controller integrated in the chipset for use with
Intel AMT. Further details about the controller can be found in the technical specification.
For security reasons, AMT is disabled when you receive the SIMATIC IPC. Enable AMT in
the BIOS setup. Afterwards the Intel
®
Management Engine (Intel
®
ME) has to be activated
and set for AMT. Set the following in the Management Engine:
●
Configure network for access via AMT
●
Create password
