Step Details

1 Discovery and Reporting plug-in is installed on McAfee ePO, then deployed to client systems.

This plug-in detects the Intel

AMT systems in your organization.

2 Management client software is installed on McAfee ePO, then deployed to client systems. This

plug-in allows you to perform actions and enforce other policies on your Intel

AMT systems.

3 Profile Management software is required for Intel

AMT configuration. It includes:

Profile Management extension Adds Configuration Profile policy to create a configuration

profile for Intel

AMT configuration.

RCS Manager plug-in Deploys on managed Intel

RCS server and needed only

for remote configuration. It retrieves the configuration

profiles and other settings that are required for the

configuration.

4 KVM Viewer software can be installed on an unmanaged system. However, Intel

AMT systems

must be KVM-supported and -enabled. You can create and enforce the KVM policy from McAfee

ePO. The ePO Deep Command KVM console helps you to access and troubleshoot Intel

AMT

systems locally or remotely.

5 The Management client allows performing AMT actions on Intel

AMT systems. It also

facilitates the Intel

AMT configurations using one of these methods:

a — Host-based configuration Uses the host-based configuration profile and settings.

b — Remote configuration Uses the configuration settings retrieved by the RCS

Management plug-in.

To allow configuration from McAfee ePO, the Intel

AMT system must be located within the local

environment. Use alternate configuration methods for remote clients.

6 Based on the Intel

AMT system location, the communication workflow differs as follows:

a — Local clients

• Management client directly communicates with Intel

AMT systems to configure them, perform Intel

actions, and enforce other policies.

• Local Access feature is used. The Local Area Network

(LAN) Agent Handler to be used for the Local Access

policy must be active.

b — Remote clients

• Gateway server and tunneling software are installed

and configured on the Agent Handler or McAfee ePO.

They allow communication between McAfee ePO and

remotely managed Intel

AMT systems.

• Remote Access feature is used.

• Management client performs Intel

AMT actions such

as Power on, Serial-over-LAN, IDE-Redirection, and

Boot/Reboot.

ePO Deep Command components work on McAfee ePO framework. See the McAfee ePO documentation

for your version of the software for details on standard features such as server tasks, dashboards, and

queries.
