To configure Intel AMT devices in small business mode
1
Go to the physical location of the Intel AMT computer, and then connect the
cables, a monitor, and a keyboard.
2
Turn on the computer and press Ctrl+P during POST to enter the Management
Engine BIOS Extension (MEBx).
The Ctrl+P shortcut can vary depending on the OEM-provided BIOS. For more
information on accessing the ME BIOS sub-menu, see the hardware
manufacturer’s documentation.
The default MEBx password for computers in the factory-default state is
"admin". When you log on to the MEBx for the first time, you must change
the default password to a strong password.
See
“About passwords used with Intel AMT”
on page 177.
3
Enable Intel AMT in the Intel AMT computer's MEBx, if it is not already
enabled.
You might have to exit the MEBx and restart the computer for the additional
Intel AMT configuration options to appear in the MEBx.
4
If you have Intel AMT already enabled, before making any changes, you must
select Un-Provision > Full Unprovision in the MEBx to fully unconfigure the
Intel AMT device.
5
Set the Provision Model to Small Business (listed as Small-Medium Business
with some computers).
6
Configure the network settings of the Intel AMT device.
We recommend that the TCP/IP settings be the same as the settings for the
network interface card of the computer. If the network card uses DHCP, select
DHCP in the MEBx. For computers that use a static IP address, you must
specify the following in the MEBx:
■
Host name of the Intel AMT computer
Warning:
Intel AMT does not support host names with an underscore ("_")
character.
■
IP address of the Intel AMT computer
■
Subnet mask
■
Default gateway address
■
Preferred DNS address
