Users Guide

In order to maintain the KVM link, ME is first given control of the wireless link. The timeout is set by default to 10 minutes to
provide ample time for the system to complete the reboot process. ME will maintain control even after the operating system has
rebooted if the reboot completes in under 10 minutes. To give control back to the operating system immediately, the user must
select Tools > Link Preference > OS owns Wireless. In that case, the KVM connection is lost during the transfer process.
To reestablish the connection, the user must select Connection > Start. Also note that when control of the wireless link is
automatically reverted as a result of the Link Preference Timeout expiring, there is no loss of connectivity. There are individual
timeout values for each shutdown and reboot operation (defined in KVM View app.config settings) that can be configured
externally:
● LPTImeoutRebootToOS
● LPTimeoutRebootToBIOS
● LPTimeoutRebootToDiagnostics
● LPTimeoutRebootWithIDER
● LPTimeoutShutdown

0.
Max password length change
Some system BIOS does not support reducing the Maximum password length down from 32.
KVM power control to boot to OS in S3
If after a KVM connection is established, the AMT client enters power state S3 or S4, the KVM connection is lost within
30 seconds of entering the sleep state. (This issue occurs in both wired and wireless environments.) In such a case, the
administrator must restart the connection (Connection→ Start), before issuing a reboot command (operating system, BIOS,
Diagnostics, IDE-R).
