• Intel

AMT-enabled chipset

• Network hardware and software

• Corporate network connection (with an AC power source)

Setting up the environment requires that you configure your Intel

AMT firmware with certificates and

integrate ePO Deep Command into the existing security framework.

When an Intel

AMT system is configured to use Wi-Fi, ePO Deep Command allows out-of-band

communication to clients in a wireless environment.

Product components

The ePO Deep Command software is comprised of four modules: Discovery and Reporting,

Management Framework, Profile Manager, and KVM Viewer.

Discovery and Reporting module

The ePO Deep Command Discovery and Reporting module collects detailed information about your

network systems that are equipped with Intel

AMT. This module adds these items to McAfee ePO:

• Discovery plug-in — This plug-in detects Intel

AMT and BIOS properties of managed systems in

your network. The data collected is displayed on the dashboard. The plug-in is added automatically

to master repository during installation, and can be deployed to client systems using the predefined

deployment task.

• Discovery and Reporting plug-in deployment task — This predefined deployment task is

added to the Client Task Catalog. You can deploy it to the managed systems you select.

• Reporting query group — These predefined queries collect important details about the Intel

AMT-equipped systems in your network. These queries retrieve and display information about Intel

vPro

™

and their BIOS properties. You can modify these queries, or create custom queries.

• Discovery and Reporting dashboard — This dashboard displays a collection of monitors based

on the default ePO Deep Command Reporting query results. All Intel

AMT and BIOS properties of

managed systems are displayed in one place.

• Readiness Summary dashboard — This dashboard include monitors that display the count of

Intel

AMT systems that meet and do not meet the requirements for remote configuration and

host-based configuration.

• AMT tag — This tag is automatically assigned to managed systems that are fully configured for

Intel

AMT functionality.

• Run Tag Criteria task — The predefined task evaluates each system against the AMT tag criteria

(advisable to run every time you configure or unconfigure client systems).
