Determining the network address
To connect the AMT PC with the AMT server, the network address that uniquely localizes
the AMT server on the AMT PC must be entered.
If DHCP is set for the automatic assignment of the network address in "Network Setup" in
the MEBx of the AMT PC, the network address is not fixed.
Procedure
If the AMT server uses the same network address as the operating system of the AMT PC
(most common situation):
1.
You can obtain the address of the AMT server in the command line in Windows using
"ipconfig" and in UNIX using "ifconfig".
If the AMT server and operating system do not use the same network address, ask your
network administrator for the address you have been assigned.
8.7.6
Forcing user consent
When establishing a connection to the AMT PC, the KVM viewer may prompt the user to
enter a six-figure code. This code is displayed on the screen of the AMT PC. The user of the
AMT PC must inform the user of the KVM viewer of this code.
This code query needs to be set up on the KVM viewer.
Procedure
1.
Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2.
Select the value "KVM" for "User Consent".
To allow a user with administrator privileges to avoid this code query, follow these steps:
1.
Select "Intel(R) AMT Configuration > User Consent" in the MEBx.
2.
Enable "Opt-in configurable from remote IT".
