Introduction
Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) is an Intel technology for the remote
maintenance of SIMATIC Industrial PCs (IPCs) with AMT technology using a management
PC. It is not necessary to install an operating system on the SIMATIC IPC with Intel® AM.
Intel® AMT provides numerous functions, e.g.:
●
Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) Redirection
KVM connections are always possible using the KVM server that is integrated in the
firmware. KVM enables access to IPCs with a corrupted or no operating system as the
KVM server is integrated in the AMT hardware. KVM enables you to reboot a remote
computer and make changes to its BIOS settings.
●
Remote power management
SIMATIC IPC with Intel ® AMT can be switched on and off or restarted using another PC.
●
IDE redirection
An image on the management PC can be integrated and used on the SIMATIC IPC with
Intel® AMT both as a CD/DVD drive and as a floppy drive. If the image is bootable, you
can also boot the SIMATIC IPC with Intel® AMT from it.
The following figure shows remote maintenance of SIMATIC IPCs with Intel® AMT, e.g.
