5.9.3 Remote Desktop
The
Remote Desktop
function allows you to control a vPro client device through
KVM. This is useful for remotely monitoring and repairing the client device, should
the client device’s OS encounter an error.
• If the client device is operating from the Intel MEBx, you will not be able to
connect using KVM.
• The device will not be able to enter the Intel MEBx settings page if the
client device was restarted whilst using KVM.
• When using the KVM remote desktop function of a vPro device, the border
of the client device screen will flash red and yellow to indicate that the
client device is currently running the KVM remote desktop function.

Before using the Out-of-band Management Remote Desktop function for the first
time, ensure you have set a KVM password and enabled KVM.
1. On the Remote Controller Information page of the vPro device, click on
Control
, then click on
Set Password
in the

password for KVM.
The KVM password must contain 8 characters, and must contain uppercase
characters (A-Z), lowercase characters, numbers (0-9), and special characters.
2. Click on the drop down menu in the
Enable/Disable KVM
field and select
the
Enable
option.
If you need to disable the KVM, select the
