The SMART Room System’s room system appliance uses Intel® AMT, which is part of Intel vPro®
technology. You can use Intel AMT to manage the room system remotely.
Before you can use Intel AMT, you must enable and configure it on the room system appliance.
You can then manage the room system remotely by using one of the following:
l
The embedded web management interface
l
Management software, such as Open MDTK
l
Remote access software, such as DameWare® or VNC® Viewer Plus
This chapter explains how to configure and use Intel AMT to remotely manage the room system.
IMPORTANT
l
Set an administrator password for the room system appliance’s BIOS (under
Security >
Administrator Password
) and change the Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx)
password from the default to prevent users from making configuration changes to Intel
AMT.
l
Store the BIOS and Intel MEBx passwords in a safe place: these passwords cannot be easily
reset if lost.
